Angelfish Breeding

[Josh]

Has anyone ever seen a golden veil angelfish crossbred with a zebra angel?

Is this something you are looking for, something you might have, or something you are trying to do?

If you google "angelfish selective breeding genetics" you'll find an article that may discuss this. I recall him discussing combinations of traits based on the parent's traits.

It sounds like the phenotypes you're talking about crossing are:

Zebra: +\+, Z/Z, +/+, +/+, +/+, +/+, +/+, +/+, +/+
Gold veil: g/g, +/+, +/+, +/+, +/+, V/+, +/+, +/+, +/+

It's also possible for some recessive alleles to be present on the other loci (ex: half-black, pearlscale, and Philippine blue alleles are recessive so it is possible one of your angels is carrying a copy).

My gosh I never got an update on whether someone commented on this or not. I’ve successfully paired the two angels. She lays about every week. And I’ve had 2 successful batches of fry go all the way to the free swimming stage. Unfortunately the parents ate them.

I also had fry that was eaten by the parents, the shop told me to "let nature and parents look after them". An advice that I got from an ex. breeder is to wait until you can see the fry wiggle outside of the eggs, then to move the adults, use a sponge filter and feed fry food (like Hikari First bite). Am waiting for more eggs now.
