The vevet angelfish of theChaetodontoplus属是最有趣的,最unique in the Pomacanthidae. However wild collected velvet angelfish have a very hard time adapting to aquarium foods and conditions but thankfully, velvet angelfish are among some of the most often captive bred. Bali Aquarich has been a champion ofChaetodontoplusbreeding and they’ve recently had an exciting new breakthrough. Mr Su scored another new fish, with this hybrid of Maze and Black velvet Angelfish,Chaetodontoplus cephalareticulatusxChaetodontoplus melanosoma.
The thing with this hybrid cross is that they’re all different with some keeping the blue color face from the Maze, and some more grey-blue like the Black Velvet. The big lingering question mark is going to be the lines across the body with any number of outcomes possible, we could end up with some very unique patterns. There will probably be a selection of very special ones such as blue Chinese character that could catch the attention of very affluent fish keepers. That’s why Mr Su is not yet releasing them, as he wants to see their final coloration before selecting and selling them one by one, mainly on the Asian market.
我个人喜欢其中一些黑色的身体,黄色的尾巴和蓝色的脸,只是希望他们能像那样留下来。因此,我迫不及待地想在几周后回来,看看这批鱼会带来什么,因为它们看起来会有所不同。
