This should be interesting. The parents of these would be hybrid single dose fish, they are 2 pearl 1 Pb, 2 smokey, i gold, 1 green glitter, V/V. In my own situation I kept 9 adults....every %^&$3$@@ing one of them turned out to be le feminine. Pithers. So I have not been able to proceed further in them using a straight cross of hybrids and I most likely would not have because I'm like jam packed loaded with little fishies right now. I hope to see a focus of several fish that develop the double dose Pb along with the chocolate and pearling. I'd watch for those specifically. I would select a group of 40 fish to begin with a decent selection of the various phenotypes that present. In crossing and locking specific colors and expressions each fish becomes precious as a donor of genetic capacity. Many times you can not get a certain stunning beauty without crossing a mundane to a pretty fish. Reading the genetic specifics of those fish often considered mundane becomes very important in the concept of line fixing and working crosses into submission.

This is there second successful spawn. there first one is a little over two weeks old. They spawn all the time. I just don't pull there spawns all the time. I don't have the tank space to keep 40 angels but I would like to try and focus the line. The only problem is that I'm not to sure all the time what I'm looking for. I would miss a lot of important genetics because of it. I'm getting better but not as good as someone that has been breeding for a long time. I just need to get better at reading the genetics. That's something that's going to take time. I also need to get some more tanks running. But that's a hole other problem.
