Streaked Locus Non-wild alleles at this locus: Streaked (St) Possible phenotypes: Streaked (St/+, St/St) Streaked (St/+,
St/St) The Streaked phenotype results from the presence of either single or double dose of the dominant Streaked mutation. Angelfish showing the streaked phenotype will show white streaks in the dorsal and sometimes anal fins. Since the streaks are typically white the gene is usually only seen in darkly colored fish. Lighter colored fish can carry the allele however they will show no phenotype. Not much is known about the Streaked phenotype since it is often difficult to see. There is some evidence that the Streaked phenotype can result in the atypical expression of other mutations such as Smokey, Marble, and Gold Marble . Interacting Mutations Although there have been
some reports of Streaked interacting with a number of phenotypes (Smokey,
Dark, and Marble for example) none of these interactions have been
confirmed. Links
