I've been crossing different genetics into my Half Blacks. The results have been disappointing, to say the least. I had 2 huge spawns from a Super veil HB and a stripeless HB. Of hundreds of fry only 2 turned. I had 2 spawns from the pair I was most excited about. The parents were a cross of one of my HBs to one of my Blue Silver Pearl Scales. I got a few pearls in the spawns, but none at all turned.
I have one last pair of my HB/Blue Silver Pearl cross that spawned and have free swimming fry that they are caring for. If none of their kids turn I'm after 2 spawns I'm afraid I'm done with Angels for good.
I wish I had your problems. My Half Blacks spawn regular but I never get any wigglers to free swimming stage. They just die off on the day they are supposed to go free swimming. Tried hatching jars, 2-1/2 gallon tanks, tried rainwater, nothing seems to help. I am even thinking of splitting up a pair and trying for some 'HETS'.
Is it even possible to be done with Angels for good?
I'm not sure. I guess I'll find out. Remember I have Discus as well and some of my homebreds are very close to breeding age,
..remember hb is recessive.. ;)

Mug. The parents were HBXBlue Silver HB. There should have been a percentage that turned.
