My new arrivals

I was sponsored these Angel Fish for my breeding program, as I have downscaled on my Betta breeding.

I have received these Angel Fish on Saturday 16/03/2013 for my breeding program. They are still adjusting to the new environment but have start to eat small portions of food.

Hi Keith
They look real solid & stunning Angels, They will give you a good start to your breeding program.
But if you want to know genetics the one to ask is Rob under the name ( Pterophyllum ),
He can tell you what you need to know if he has not seen this just pm him i am shore he
will sort them for you.
Cheers Tony

Hi Keith.
There are some nice fish there, and a good basis for starting a breeding project.
Photos 1 & 2 koi as described (although the more I look at No 1 the more I wonder if it's a paraiba koi (aka platinum koi))
Photos 3 & 4 Blue (aka blue silver) - not Pinoy. Some people mistakenly use the term "pinoy" for any blue angel. To be a pinoy a blue angel also needs at least one dark gene.
Photos 5 & 6, it's a little difficult to be sure, but they appear to be platinums (again definitely not pinoys) a platinum is a fish with 2 gold genes and 2 Philippine blue genes. They might just be blue ghosts, but I'm 95% confident platinum.
Photo 7 as 3 & 4
Photo 8 Zebra lace, a clown would have a stripeless gene which would cause the vertical bands to break into blotches. As an aside -The name clown was coined by Joanne Norton for a black lace fish that also had a zebra & a stripeless gene (D/+ - S/Z), these days it's more commonly used to describe a fish that's S/Z whilst a fish that's D/+ - S/Z is known as a clown lace. Either way it's not necessary to include the "zebra" in the name as it's presence is implied by the name "clown".

Whatever they are they are just gawjus....good luck with the breeding. Excellent photography skills

Lost my female koi, lump on the left top of her head. She might have injured her by banging against the glass.

sorry to hear that...you must be gutted as such a fab fish

Hi Keith
The down side of keeping live stock is every now and then bad things happen.
