Sea＆Reef本月以新的遗传组合（他们介绍了宽阔的摩卡角斗士），在设计师小丑Fish Front上领导了新闻。Wide Bar Gladiator(a mouthful of a name perhaps) is a genetic trait found in the standard orange Ocellaris, brought to market by C-Quest “back in the day”. It was basically lost and/or forgotten, long overshadowed by Picasso Perculas and later Fancy Whites (aka. Gladiators). That said, Sea & Reef Aquaculture managed to bring this form back into production, giving this mutation gene a second chance to make a good impression.
Initially I thought there was a connection between the Wide Bar Gladiator genetic, and the mutation we generally know as Fancy White / DaVinci, because the actually original name for that gene (which is also responsible for Wyoming Whites) was in fact “Gladiator”. Furthermore, Sustainable Aquatics’ “Vivid Fancy”, a form out of their Fancy White breeding, does seem to have a wider mid-stripe. Were these the same thing? Soren Hansen cleared it up.
“The Wide Bar Gladiator phenotype is separate from the DaVinci phenotype and is it’s one stable line. Bill Addison created the Wide Bar Gladiators first and also named them.” When asked about the inheritance / expression of this gene, Soren was very direct. “Definitely dominant.” Here’s an example of a traditional wild-type Ocellaris Clownfish, and the Wide Bar Gladiator version (the one that has the mutant gene).
There’s still more to be learned, but if we trust the info we’re given so far, this is yet another gene that can be added into the mix to create ever-more new and different forms of clownfish. And that’s exactly what Sea & Reef has done with the Wide Bar Mocha Gladiator clownfish. MOCHA clownfish are the interspecific (in my opinion) hybrid between a Darwin (Black) Ocellaris and the OrangeAmphiprion ocellaris。但是，当您还使用宽的酒吧角斗士Ocellaris而不是普通的橙色ocellaris，其中50％的后代是摩卡咖啡时，还有50％的人也获得了宽的酒吧基因，因此，宽酒吧摩卡酱是，当您使用宽棒遗传学时，50％创建。
This is, incidentally, the same way that Black Ice / S’more clownfish were created (using the Snowflake Gene in Orange Ocellaris). Ultimately, Sea & Reef is aiming to produce Wide Bar Black Ocellaris; the Wide Bar Mocha Gladiator is just the first step necessary to get the wide bar gene into the “Black Ocellaris” population.
Of course, we could very well see “Wide Bar Snowflakes”, “Longfin Wide Bar Mocha” and a whole slew of genetic mutations and hybridizations in the future. At the end of the day, the growing understanding of mutations and hybridization in our domestic clownfish stocks will very much make them the true Guppies of the Marine Aquarium, but from a breeding standpoint, there will come a time, with enough transparency, that a true mastery of the raw materials develops and the fish become the “living canvas” upon which a breeder can paint his latest combination of genes and parentage. Midnight Lightning Clownfish anyone? (It’s already been done BTW, and has no relation to the Lightning Maroon..but I’ll save that for another day).
我认为我们可能应该放弃宽酒吧角斗士名称的“角斗士”部分，只是因为它引起了一些混乱并使这个名字成为一口。宽酒吧本身就是很有意义的……我们都知道这意味着什么……比正常水平宽！C问题的发现遗产并不是每个人都在争议。
