Since the Discus are doing nothing in terms of producing fry I have been concentrating on my Angelfish project. (I do have a bunch of juvies that have a lot of potential growing out_
Half Black Angels don't have much appeal for most people but the people who are in to them are very much in to them so they always bring an excellent price of Aquabid. My project is breeding different types together to get several different varieties of Half Blacks in a single spawn. The recessive genes I'm working with are Half Back, stripeless, pearl scale, blue, and super veil. Silver is dominant over everything.
This is an exciting time for me because my Half Black stripeless standard finned X Half Black super veil have fry that should free swim tomorrow. They had eaten their eggs so many times that I had about given up on them. Also, my first pair of my cross I made with a blue silver and a half black has formed and have 2 day old wigglers. It's their first time so I'm trying not to hope that they will successful. If they do, I will have all the genes in those two spawns to play with crossing. Also, I don't artificially raise like most breeders so that's another hoop that I have to jump through even though it doesn't matter much to buyers.
I know that most Discus even have an understanding of Angelfish genetics, so all this will mean nothing to you. For me, it is a chance to have fun working toward a goal.
