about having the wholesaler cut down on ordering from me and having a draining pump that doesn't work are:
The fish grew bigger and I have had more time to look at them rather than just grow them, bag them and sell them. Every Angel I own come from a wide finned Blue Marble group that Jon pointed me to. They were offered for sale on Aquabid. All but one was a PS. I've bred moms to kids and kids to kids and dad to kids. They have presented me with so many surprises. First I got Plats. But none were ps. Then I got ghosts all of which were pearl scales. I got several pearl scale clowns but they turned out to be all males.
Out of nowhere, I got the blue and gold blushers! The last surprise is that I now have some gold and platinum pearl scales. I've known for several weeks but I haven't separated the good ones yet. I have always wanted Platinum pearl scales and low and behold I have them!!!!!
I'm somewhat ashamed that I don't know which of my pairs are the parents of these, but I've had the good sense to keep all my pairs. When l'm to the point where I am not overrun by grow outs I will get to start breeding again. I just need to slow down. This is a hobby after all.

....sometimes spawns are like opening a present........then.....surprise !!!! |^|
That's what I'n getting now too.......each spawn has it's own gems to share.............ain't it great 8)
It's totally great! I used to be all about purebreds. I still kinda arm but when I get a surprise it knocks my socks off.
I so much want to start breeding again. I have all these cool fish to work with, but I have to keep myself under control. Keeping myself under tight rein is what's hard.
One thing that got me interested in Angelfish genetics was, I had bought some black angels. When they paired up and had kids, some of them were Orange Koi. Big shock. Took me a while to understand how two black fish could produce Orange Koi. Finally figured out it was because both of them were D/Gm hybrid blacks with a stripeless gene. Sometimes you just never know.
