 | Dumb question RE Ghost Angelfish |
NFaustman Enthusiast Posts: 172 Kudos: 163 Votes: 78 Registered: 13-Jun-2005   | "Ghost Angelfish"--What does "ghost" refer to? Is it a specific color pattern? Genetic cross? "I am a believer in punctuality, though it makes me very lonely" EV Lucas |

Do you have a picture?. http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/s8xi5heh/my_photos http://www.geocities.com/s8xi5heh/classic_blue.html http://groups.yahoo.com/group/buzaqq/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com |

Every once in awhile I see "ghost angel" listed on aquabid, but there doesnt seem to be any uniformity in the coloring of the fish that are pictured. Thats why I wondered if it was a genetic characteristic, like pearlscale. Maybe not. "I am a believer in punctuality, though it makes me very lonely" EV Lucas |

psynderella Big Fish Posts: 356 Votes: 0 Registered: 19-Sep-2002  | "Ghost" refers to the stripless gene. A single stripless gene removes most stipping, a double dose produces the blushing phenotype. This information can be found at the Angelfish Society's web site. Particularly this page. Scroll down to Srtipless/Zebra Locus and it will tell you all about it. |
