For those interested in breeding angels and who are interested in what color and pattern combinations you will get from this pair, below is the genetic makeup
Angel 1 (assume it is a male) is a Silver (wild type) angel showing a "clown" pattern which is broken bars which is a combination of one gene of zebra (double number of stripes) and one gene for stripeless. Silver is a base genetic type, Zebra is a dominant gene and Stripeless is a dominant gene so the genotype is S/Z.
Angel 2 (assume it is the female) is Silver angel showing as gold which is a recessive gene so that unless there are two copies of the gene it will not show so because you can see it is gold, there are 2 gold genes present. That genotype would be g/g (lowercase denotes recessive gene).
So from that the offspring of the pair will be:
50 percent Zebra (double stripes) carrying one gene for gold AND
50 percent Ghost (faded stripes) carrying one gene for gold.
That means that the offspring will look neither parent but that is also why angelfish are so interesting to breed.
If you have not tried breeding angels, they are one of the easier cichlids to breed and are easy BAP points. An adult pair can easily be bred in a 20 high or 29g.
