Smokey
Pearlscale
Multiple Locus Phenotype
Non-wild alleles
that interact to form this phenotype:
Smokey
(Sm),
Pearlscale
(p)
A smokey
pearlscale is a smokey (Sm/+) that is also homozygous (double dose) for
the recessive pearlscale trait and has the phenotype:
Sm/+ - p/p
The
pearlscale trait does not alter the expression of color of the smokey
phenotype, but alters the shape and alignment of the scales resulting in
the scales being more reflective of light. This gives the angelfish a
glossier appearance.
Approved by The Angelfish
Society Standards Committee on March 11, 2007.
