Blue Silver Angelfish

Description

Bold Blue and Black Striping That Deepens With Age

Deep blue and black striping gives this line an unmistakable look in any tank. This variety tends to sell quickly and can be hard to keep in stock, so when you see it available, it’s worth grabbing sooner rather than later. As these angels grow and mature, their blue tones intensify, younger fish carry noticeably less blue than fully mature adults with fully developed coloring. The black bars can also fade or deepen depending on the fish’s mood.

Genetics: Blue Silver Angelfish were first developed in the Philippines. They carry two copies of the Philippine Blue gene (pb/pb), a mutation also responsible for Platinum and Pinoy phenotypes. In Blue Silvers specifically, the gene doesn’t change the striping pattern, so they show the same black bars seen on a wild type Angelfish, just set against a blue body instead of silver.

Fin Types: Available in both Standard and Veil fin types when in stock.
