This comes down to totally personal choices. This Altum Angel display set up by George Farmer is spellbinding... But, personally, the Koi Angels we bred were a great delight once they shaped up... For a complete top-to-bottom how-to on breeding them, here’s a thread on the forum... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shenandoah Aquatics Posted June 15, 2021 Author Share Posted June 15, 2021 This is more along the lines of what is one of the most popular varieties that sells online and relative ease of breeding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhitecloudDynasty Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Blue Pinoy Veil Widefin Angelfish would be what I breed..I would work going toward black body and blue fin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrozenFins Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Angelfish was one of the first fish I ever got! So it will always have a special place in my heart. Personally I would do the Red Koi angelfish and really try to get the red out of them. Altums are my favorite angelfish, but I probably wouldn't breed them just keep them. They are super facisnating though, just got to get a big enough tank. I also really like the phillipine blue angelfish. I had one not to long ago, but it died 😞 it was showing breeding signs with one of my other angels too 😞 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aquarius Aquatics Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 My personal favorite angel is the all yellow ones so I would and am trying to breed a pair of those. However I love all angelfish and would breed any if given the chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anewbie Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 If you are breeding strictly to make money there are some less common variety like pinoy alibino ghost and some of the bulgarian varieties. if you are breeding for your own curiosity then i would start with a pair close to what you find pleasing and then play a bit with the genetics to produce something closer to what you find pleasing. An example might be koi and trying to produce a different pattern or pearl-scale platinum zebra. The fact that you mention selling online in your question makes me believe it is the former - then look at what is selling for the most $$ and go down that route. Before you start down that route you might check into how angel genetics work - this page might get you started: http://www.aquaticcommunity.com/cichlid/angelfish-genetics.php and this link might help a little http://www.theangelfishsociety.org/phenotype_library_2007/ as well as this link https://angelfins.ca/index.php?main_page=genetics_calculator 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy's Fish Den Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 The ones that I see sell the best at my local club swaps and auctions are the Philipine blues, if you reed them to enhance the blue coloration, and the super red koi, the more of the orange red coloring the better.

Beardedbillygoat1975 Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 I’d say the red shoulder manacapuru angels are pretty amazing. I tried to get some from a guy here in the PNW and they sold out super fast. I’ve also seen some crosses with pearl scales and platinums that were pretty sensational!

BriannesFishFam Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 I would suggest red koi or Philippine blue, they seem popular. Are you shipping or selling to lfs? If you are selling to your lfs see what the sell the most of or ask the public in our area. Blue marble bumblees and the dark ones with long fins are very pretty. But the red kois and philippine blues seem to sell in mass quantities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BriannesFishFam Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Do you have a place you will be selling? Like your own website, or a provided service whom takes a small percent of funds such as our fish collective or getgills? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m just wanting to expand the types of fish that I want to breed. I will be adding about 50 tanks very soon and expanding so just looking for great ideas!

BriannesFishFam Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Plecos, cories, kribs, ricefish are all amazing breeders. If you are looking for consistent babies that are pretty much effort less try ricefish, they can lay eggs every day and the fry are small. I am breeding them currently! What kinds of platforms are you selling on right now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shenandoah Aquatics Posted June 17, 2021 Author Share Posted June 17, 2021 I’m using Getgills and eBay a lot and have had great success. I will definitely check into the rice fish. I would love to try my hand with those! What variety do you recommend starting with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
