    My Son's Angels

    I've raised angel fish for years now... at times I have had thousands here and many strains... a few years back I got rid of all my lines except one...a marble line That I have always been very attached to. I've maintained this line now for almost 12 years..... last year I handed care of the line over to my Angel fish Heir apparent...My 6 year old son Ethan... Some members here even have stock bred by him. So these are officially my Son's lines now.... we'll be looking into out crossing it soon.

    Heres a few pics of Ethan's Angels..

        Very nice Al, I love the orange on the faces and heads. Looks like some really big beefy Angels in there.

          Re: My Son's Angels

          We also have one other line going right now..or I should hopeful line... A few years ago I bred some F1 scalare from wilds and did some crosses.The results were beautiful but I never kept the line (kicking myself) so I decided to redo the work...I got a bunch (25) of wild scalare in as small Juvies...maybe quarter size at best...They were a bit beat up from the shipping (came from a wholesaler thru a petshop owner bud of mine) but came around fine..and some are doing great... We've got a couple set up in smaller tanks, these shots are from the over flow , what left after setting up the smaller tanks...They are in my 75 gal planted low tech tank.

          We do have a problem here though...My son and I are having a custody battle....seems he believes that all Angel fish in the house are his now. and if thats the extent of my battles with my son...I think I am doing a pretty good job here!

          Bad pics, green on the tank walls but you get the picture still..

                    Al those marbles are very nice, but those wilds are amazing. If you want to sell any let me know.

                      Hold on to those Marbles Al...at the rate things are going in the Angel world, Marbles are taking a backseat to everything else. In my area you can't give them away...Everyone wants Platinums...Blues mostly. The Blues are going to overshadow most if not all the strains out there now, except maybe the high coverage Koi. As the fade dies down, people will want the "classic" strains...yet again...Bill

                        Al, You may want to rethink letting Ethan take over the angels department. He has the "midas touch" when it comes to breeding and raising the angels.. :9)
                        All are gorgeous and he takes so much pride in them.. Tell him i said so also.. haha

                          Al, really like the flash of arange on the marbles, but I have to say that the Scalare really do it for me, they are superb.

                            LOL, Sorry Al but the "Angelfish Empire" belongs to Ethan now! Nice work he has done with the marbles.

                            BTW, I had seriously forgoten how beautiful and elegant wild scalare are!

                              very nice angels your son is lucky he has a good teacher by the looks of things.
                              yes marbles have taken the back seat and yes phillipine blue are taking the angelfish world by storm. I have jumped on the wagon my self but will keep my original non blue lines in tact also because there is always the guy that wants to be different and when everything is blue people will want the classics again. and my fish that contain the blue gene have alot of hidden genes and I would like to figure out whats what before I do to much crossing.
