Blue Chocolate Angelfish

Description

The Blue Chocolate Angelfish represent an extraordinary achievement in selective breeding, combining two powerful genetic influences to create a fish with unparalleled beauty. These angelfish carry double doses of both the Philippine Blue and Smokey genes, a genetic pairing that is uncommon.

The Philippine Blue gene is known for producing beautifully vibrant, intense blue coloration, while the Smokey gene contributes rich patterns of dark grey/black, adding depth and complexity to the unique appearance as no two are alike.

When these genes combine in the Blue Chocolate Angelfish, the result is a stunning visual contrast: vivid, radiant blues meld seamlessly with intricate, smoky patterning that emphasizes the natural contours and highlights its elegant form. In particular, the Smokey gene expression in Chocolate angels is notable for its dominance, often covering more than half of the body. This creates bold, dense markings that enhance the overall aesthetic impression and give the fish a dramatic, shadowy appearance. Unlike many other angelfish varieties where patterning may be more subtle or scattered, the Smokey pattern in Blue Chocolate angels is pronounced and well-distributed, lending these fish a unique and captivating presence in any aquarium setting.

Furthermore, our Philippine Blue lines are carefully maintained and selectively bred to exclude Gold and Gold Marble genes as they can dilute or alter the blue pigmentation, leading to paler or less vibrant coloration. By eliminating these variables, we ensure that the Blue Chocolate Angelfish showcase the truest, most intense blue hues possible. This purity of coloration means that as these fish mature, their blue tones do not fade or become muddied but instead deepen and intensify. The progression of color with age is one of the most remarkable aspects of the Philippine Blue genetics.  Pigmentation will reach peak vibrancy and richness one the individual reaches maturity.  This results in a breathtaking specimen that commands attention with its stunning, deep blue shades accentuated by the smoky overlay.

In summary, the Blue Chocolate Angelfish combine the best of both genetic worlds.  Starting with the stunning, vibrant blues from the Philippine Blue lineage and layered with the profound, dramatic smokey patterns.  Creating a truly show-stopping fish that matures into a living masterpiece of color and contrast, enhancing the beauty and diversity of any aquarium environment.  You won’t be disappointed!
