巴厘岛Aquarich在被囚禁中繁殖海洋姑娘的世界领导者是遥远的领导者。有了这种经验,他们至少提供了七种全面的大缠结物种。Pomacanthus, Holacanthus和Chaetodontoplusgenera, but they’ve also gotten really lucky with some accidental hybridization.
Earlier this summer we got a first look at the one and only captive bred皇帝和安纳拉斯神人的杂种when it was just five months old. At the time the gorgeous juvenile“Empelaris” showed only its juvenile white and blue-barred juvenile coloration, with a wild blend of the juvenile features of both parent species.
Now that the lone specimen of the emperor x annularis hybrid is closing in on being five inches long and one year old, we can glimpse a fuller preview of how the genetics of its parents are blending to create a truly one of a kind fish. Interestingly,Pomacanthus annularis和P. imperatorare the only two species of large angelfish in this genus with stripes, and they both have a set of bold facial markings forming a kind of mask.
Emperor angelfish have numerous horizontal stripes that are fairly narrow, while the annularis angelfish has relatively few stripes which range from horizontal to diagonal and nearly vertical. In the hybrid Empelaris, the stripes have so far developed into fairly broad markings that are mostly diagonal and they nearly cover the side of the body.
此外,皇帝的神干饰有黑色的面具和黑色的胸部“腰带”,两者都呈蓝色边界,而安妮拉利斯的套身也有横跨眼睛的蓝色条纹。这再次是另一个功能,它已经在巴厘岛Aquarich的圈养繁殖混合动力车上精美地融合在一起。
At around just four inches long, we can clearly see that this is one fish with a very promising adult coloration that is roughly about halfway developed in this hybrid. Wild杂交种s of emperor angelfishhave been discovered, those being the result of crosses with Chrysurus angelfish, and Koran angelfishes. Therefore this hybrid of emperor and annularis angelfish is extremely exciting since the full adult coloration will be a total surprise, and completely new.
巴厘岛Aquarichhas made quite a staple of offering captive bred angelfish, with exciting offerings ofmaze angelfish和clarion angelfish。但是,随着大型物种的混合缠绕,巴厘岛阿奎里奇(Bali Aquarich)在驯养或设计师海鱼的领域中打破了全新的地面。以这种速度,巴厘岛的Aquarich处于良好的位置,可以在海洋鱼类的线条纯种中保持世界领先地位,但也是世界从未见过的杂种。我们迫不及待地报告他们接下来的成就。
Update:巴厘岛Aquarich just released this video of their one of a kind emperor angelfish x annularis angelfish hybrid.
