PB marbles on the cone..

Next time then.  I'll be watching for news.  Do you still have that ps male?

he paired up with a nice pb marble female.....whether she's 'het' for pearl is yet to be determined tho....

[LizStreithorst]

I would very,very very much like to see a pic of the pair please, sir.  He's pp.  I don't care if she is p nothin'.  The gene will be in the fry. 

The joy isn't having the result handed to you on a silver platter, you know...Reinventing the wheel doesn't bother me in the least.  I get my pleasure from the process not the result.

I had a better one on here somewhere...but I tried to snag another....the 'pearl' doesn't show much here..........that male PB marble pariaba sports a few 'pearl' markings too...(pair vid above)

Oh my word.  The fish nearly makes me pee my pants.  How about a pic of his beloved?

You said something that I don't understand.  I was under the impression that the pearlscale gene was a simple recessive and either it expressed fully or not at all.    If that's the case how can a fish show a few pearl markings?

Pearl scale sometimes doesn't show up well on angels with genetically marked expressions...only where some markings aren't shown.....look at a pearl smokey...some of the smokey pattern will not show pearl well...here the marble gene is at play, disrupting the pearl from completely expressing.........some of your pearl HB's should have random voids where the color from the melanin layer overrides it, as in the black area itself.......

It's not that pearl isn't there sometimes, but that it's very difficult to discern because of the darker scale color too..
