闪电栗色小丑鱼有spawned，孵化了，并且已经是F1一代中的第一位乐队，表现出超级有希望的谱带，这将使小丑鱼育种者非常兴奋。即使栗色照明栗色小丑鱼与相关的Premnas biaculeatusfrom Papua New Guinea, we don’t think anyone really expected to see expressions of the lightning pattern in thefirstgeneration of the lightning maroon’s offspring.
All observers of the lightning maroon project who know anything about mendelian genetics realistically thought that we might see some traces of the lightning pattern in the second, F2 generation of lightning maroon clownfish once they were back-crossed with each other a bit. However, for Matt to observe the lightning pattern in his very first batch of offspring from a half-cross of lightning maroon but full cross of PNG maroons clownfish must be very encouraging, and well worth the long journey it has been to get to this point.
Matt’s baby lightning maroon clownfish are still super young, not even a month old since hatching so they still have a lot of room to grow. However, the picture above shows one of the uniquely patterned lightning maroon offspring with a normally banded maroon clownfish below, showing a great disparity in pattern between siblings in this first single clutch. Can you imagine how many more surprises await us once the Lightning Maroon’s offspring grow up and there are lots and lots of them? We can’t wait.
