Genicanthus混合动力车是所有绑住所有磨难中最稀有的十字架之一,出于未知原因,由此产生的十字架可能令人惊讶。混合动力的最新标本Genicanthusangelfish to hit our radar perfectly exemplifies this phenomenon with a large male sporting a half striped, half spotted pattern unlike any regular species of swallowtail angelfish.
UnlikePomacanthushybrids whose parents have very distinct colors and patterns, it’s much harder to guess which species of swallowtail angels created this beauty. A safe bet on the pedigree of this particular hybrid would be a cross betweenGenicanthus melanospilos和G. lamarckisince both species can be found in the Philippines where this fish was collected.
The assumption of the parentage of thisGenicanthushybrid is supported by the vertical striping of the black spot angelfish,G. melanospilos, and the horizontal stripes ofG. lamarcki. Lamarck’s angelfish is also the only common species ofGenicanthus在混合动力车上也可以看到哪些在尾巴上的细小斑点。
A fish of this caliber unsurprisingly made its way to the rare marine fish mecca of Hong Kong, at a store calledOceanuswho shared these picture with us. This fish was sold for a princely five-figure sum but thankfully it was purchased by a well known rare angelfish collector and friend of Reef Builders so there’s a good chance we might get some updates on the growth and development of this fish in the future.
