black lace pearlscale is a black lace with two alleles for the recessive
pearlscale trait. It has the genotype:
D/+
- p/p.
Pearlscale
does not modify the expression of the black lace phenotype. It changes
the shape and alignment of the scales to make them more reflective of
light. However, pearlscale does not show up as well on darker phenotypes
such as a black lace angelfish as it does on lighter varieties such as
gold.
