 Pterophyllum Scalare
In angelfish of the species Pterophyllum scalare, eight different loci have been identified to have non-wild alleles that alter the appearance of the fish, or phenotype.  Many different phenotypes can be formed from combinations of alleles for these mutations.  This library contains photographs and information about a large array of these phenotypes, starting with the wild and wild type phenotype, then with phenotypes that occur as a result of mutations at each individual locus, and finally with phenotypes that occur from interactions between alleles at two or more locus.
