25 YEARS AGO...

Exactly in the year 2000 a longterm goal in angelfish breeding has been reached:

To breed Angelfish, Pterophyllum scalare, with a fully covered blueish looking morphe.
It was a goal since the 30th of last century. Worldwide very good breeders tried and tried it,but unluckely there was no success.

You all may know,how impressive it feels, when you have reached a goal...and for sure I felt lucky.
In 2001 it was time,to introduce this fantastic color morphe to the trade,to the hobby: the WBA Diamondblue Angelfish.
As an outcome from my work with several peruvian wildcaught angelfish varieties. My tribute goes on to mother nature.

It was an extra chapter of closest friendship,that Mr.Peter Guennel helped me to present my fish at the Aquarama Singapore in May 2001.
You all know,since this time I am truly restless in working with Pterophyllum.

Thank you very much for your attention,friendship and followership.

One single fish,one specimen can bring so much joy....

As an owner of an aquaristic pet shop I do not have so much time to watch/observe my private fish. But today,after a cleaning of filtration section in one of my bigger tanks I have taken the time for it.In result of this I share a few actually pictures about my old Rio Manacapuru Redback Angelfish male.

This batch is growing up nicely.

These youngsters are from march 2025. You can see,that actually the fish develope nice tipps at its dorsal fins. Also its coloration is in progress.For me a sign,to keep fish safe and free from stress like catch and transport them.As a breeder I have learned,that good things need its time and as a breeder I always have to develope passion.Thats possibly a very positive side effect of our beautiful hobby.

What shall I say?

I can not remember ,that I ever have seen this at all of my angelfish,which I have bred in the past...
However,for me it looks very interesting and beautiful.
You may ask,why I am bringing this in the focus of my post....maybe because there are a few "keys",which are useful to breed to cover our fish,as we want it and as nature make it possible. I will keep you informed about the further developement of this very interesting batch.

To let them grow and come into its best stage....it needs large tanks and very good tank mates. A very good tank mate with our beloved angelfish is the southamerican cichlid Biotodoma cupido. To keep them together brings their typical behaviour,its social acting in our focus....and,it makes,that the species are not shy.
