Half-black Pearlscale
Non-wild alleles that interact to form this phenotype:
Photo Courtesy Don Mitchell "NJ-FishyBiz.com" A half-black pearlscale has a double dose of the recessive half-black trait and a double dose of the recessive pearlscale trait. Its genotype is: h/h – p/p It will have similar appearance to a halfblack, but the pearlscale trait alters the shape and alignment of the scales, resulting in a shinier appearance, especially on the non-black areas. Both halfblack and pearlscale are traits that are easily influenced by environmental factors, and may not fully express even under ideal conditions, making this a challenging phenotype to successfully raise. Approved by The Angelfish Society Standards Committee on May 14, 2007. |
