Albino Dantum

with a very nice coloration. The Albino Dantum can express temporary melanism. At the photos about this individue you can see,that a Dantum is having ancestors at Rio Nanay Angelfish for sure. This individue developed a very nice coloration of a warm orange Note. It also offers the nice blueish bright at its body and the red dots between its bars. The fish came originally from Danziger Fish farm from Israel...it is now round about a half year ago,that I decided,to keep a small number of tiny Dantum Albino Angelfish myself.

13/09/2024

Eight weeks old and just at the beginning....today a few pictures about its varifying pigment expression at body and at finnage.

11/09/2024

With its eight weeks age these angelfish really are very beautiful...
What do you say?

07/09/2024

How it looks...

Before feeding the fish,they looked nearly patternless, after giving living artemia nauplia the fish start to turn its look,start to express its melanine pigments...after two minutes they all look different to the time before...they all offer its clown pattern.

06/09/2024

They are now 50 days old since freeswimming....

04/09/2024

Day by day they get more beautiful....

About the ontogenese of an Albino Dantum Angelfish with temporary melanism

Today I share pictures with you,at which you can see exactly,how things depends on by the times. This individue offers very nice aspects in coloration and pattering,and it is clearly to be seen,that the Dantum is having ancestors in Rio Nanay Angelfish.

02/09/2024

I really like,when it gets interesting....

Irregulare pattern are a very interesting subject in Angelfish Hobby.Especially when it comes to a change at the direktion of its positioning ( vertical and/or horizontal). At my new tiny batch of naturally bred Pterophyllum scalare I was able to observe such interesting aspect. I tried,to make a little poster about the first etappes in this process,which I named as "Chamäleon Effect"....to make present,that the pattern ( fully expressed) is not a permanently pattern actually,as we normally know and expect from pattern at Pterophyllum scalare.

01/09/2024

Interesting pattern depends on....

30/08/2024

In its seventh week of its life....

All 21 individues of this naturally bred tiny batch growing very well and start to develope some very interesting characteristics.

28/08/2024

Nearly six weeks old (young),
with beginning coloration. We have to see,what will be their finale phenotypical definition. But it is super interesting,to see the progress in this process....day by day.

27/08/2024

To stay in the hobby and being engaged with fish....

In minimum that means,that you are in friendship with many people, from all over the world. I will never forget the meeting with our dear friend Shahar Danziger from Israel,who often visited International Fairs in Germany. Its now many times ago....but the little gift,he gave me,is always present. To keep friendship in our hobby....this really means to dedicate the others. With this post I want to dedicate the extraordinary breeder Shahar Danziger from Israel, who is famous for his Dantum Angelfish,but also for his Black Ramirezi and thousands of thousands of other beautiful fish.

27/08/2024

Yesterday....

Yesterday it was time,to put the 21 individues of a naturally bred batch of angelfish into its 60 gallons tank. Now they can grow up continiously and I can observe them better. I really like its high guanine pigment enrichment at body and fins.

25/08/2024

Now the youngsters are five and a half weeks old....they are doing well...all 21 individues. The fish started to express a very high guanine pigment level,as it is typical for all of my wc based lines. Its mother is a female in its seventh year of life and itself a WBA Diamond Sun Angelfish from a 2018 batch of this line.

19/08/2024

The transformation of an Albino Dantum Angelfish from our good friend Shahar Danziger (original source!!!) by its beginning temporary melanism. You may ask,how to make this happen,because you have not seen this process yet....fully light between 9 to 19, fully environment in its selling tank like aqua soil,plants,stones and roots, regullary weekly addition of humin acid,temperature between 26 to 28 degree Celsius and NYOS and OASE as food sources....not any darkness,not any process lowering the temperature . The six pictures are from April 2024( 2),from June 2024(2) and August 2024. It is very good to be seen,that also the spotted trait at body comes into expression and the nice warm orange color accent at back region. At the cheeks you can see the blueish and goldorange coloration in a pattern,how it is also to be find at Angelfish from Rio Nanay Area (Peru). At its nose you can see a very interesting detail....it is an extra "barre" from eye to eye.

Angelfish History....The Blue Angelfish.

Many years before in round about 2007/2008 the first blue angelfish from Asia came into the market ...there existed a few blue angelfish lines in Europe. There was the angelfish line WBA Diamondblue Angelfish since 2000( based on peruvian angelfish),there was the angelfish line WBA Blue Flame Angelfish since 2003 ( based on brazil angelfish) and it existed the Peruvian Honeycolored Angelfish like Rio Nanay Angelfish with a nearly fully blueish cover. All of these varieties came into market in Germany,Italy,Belgium. Also two males of WBA Diamondblue Angelfish line came to my good friend from Malaysia Mr.Raymond Cheah in 2001, after having presented them in the fish competition at the Aquarama Show in Singapore. Raymond himself tried to bried blue Angelfish too and offered very blueish looking blushing angelfish with smokey accents. There exist an article about it in an american magazine.
The post today show you the first vital blue angelfish in the history of the species,without any degeneration aspects. It was an outcome of a peruvian angelfish variety and brought me on the path,to learn more about this spectre of phenotypical expression at the species Pterophyllum scalare. As most of you know,it was the beginning of a very long and intense journey....

16/08/2024

Naturally breeding....

The baby angelfish are now four weeks old since freeswimming. Yesterday I separated the female into the tank of its male. 21 healthy fish,all good grown are hungry through the whole day. I will show you the fish a few months later again at its semiadult stage.

15/08/2024

Good to know...
The knowledge about the ontogenese of the fish is the main key to answer questions about the species.
Now we are at the year 2024 and Pterophyllum altum from many different habitats in Brazil,Columbia and Venezuela are available at the hobby.Partially in wc fish and other part in bred in captivity fish.It is to be seen,that a few natural local varieties differs in any aspects of its phenotypical expression. Differing habitats really leading to differing "results" fish and in longer periods such differing aspects can depend on habitats . Thats not a special case,it is more the result of the natural selection in such habitats,because of the lack of possibilities for genetic transfer ( habitats are mostly geografic isolated) with individues of the species coming from other habitats.
In angelfish communities we find thousands of pictures of Altum from different varieties and at all stages of its life spans. Most of the pictures are about tiny fish which offers two to three "broad" vertical barres in its caudalfin ...they all are juvenile fish in its first months of life. If the fish grow up to the semi adult stage,at its caudalfin pattern is to be seen,that it changes enormous by the time. Until the fish are round about six to eight months old,the number of the vertical barres in caudalfin increase to mostly six to seven. These barres looks not such broad as at the younger age, but it is more a question of the relation to the also growing fin size. After this another process start...it looks like a fading of the vertical barres in caudalfin. With round about ten to twelfe months of life age,the caudalfin looks nearly "transparent" and the pigments are positioned along the fin raysw. Since this period of life the Altum also can express the whole caudalfin in a very brown red warm toned color and also nearly very dark blackish,if the fish is in a very intense mood.
This is going on with the Altum Angelfish from all of its natural varieties.

What do we know about the brass golden covering at angelfish?...

If you ever have bred Santa Isabel Angelfish from Brazil successfully...you will have seen,that the juvenile stage of this natural variety can be fully covered with pigments,which produce/express the brass golden bright at its whole body. So,if you work with SI crosses in your lines,you should be able,to bring this aspect into expression at a few of your fish among its offspring. The result can be better,if it will be related to a strong selection for the future breeder fish.
You also can "develope" such fully golden covered angelfish without any use of Santa Isabel Angelfish. I did it with the use of a peruvian angelfish line and my marbled strain. An only one time crossbreed of a male of my WBA White blue Marbled Angelfish ( line since 2006) with a female of my WBA Azurblue Peruvian Angelfish ( wc line since 2007) finally resulted in very beautiful marbled angelfish,which I named as WBA Rainbow Marbled Angelfish. Than I started a line breeding with these Rainbow Marbled Angelfish and among its offspring I always had a few individues,which expressed the wild pattern of the species. Those outcomes of this line were very special,because they expressed a fully brass golden cover at the body. In fact I decided to name it Diamond Sun Angelfish in my programme.
What I really have learned from this was,that in the genom of the species must be a few pre defined clusters for phenotypical expression. It is to be seen,that the genes to express the golden cover at body can come into an active mode in Nature,where it depends by the habitats and also in the captivity breeding facilities at lines, which never before offered this aspect. To know this,will give us a lot of new possibilties for the conservation of the "wild traits" of angelfish, as they do show it in Nature.

When it comes to angelfish history....

Often there was the question,why I started to work with Pterophyllum scalare. The answer is a bit complex:
- because I really like all species of the genus since my earliest childhood
- because I realized in late 80th and early 90th of last century,that with the income of mass -
produced angelfish in the market the level of its quality went down
- because I wanted to give this species its image back with the results of my work and to
find out,how to work especially with wc natural varieties of the species.
To be true,this became a very interesting journey, with many miles stones and many episodes, it brought nice results,but as most important....it brought friends from all over the world.
So,whenever it comes to angelfish history....let us keep friendship!

11/08/2024

How does it look,if an angelfish is fully brass golden covered....

In 2016 to 2018 I worked with angelfish to learn,how to cover them fully with brass golden bright at the body.I did this work with a very special line,which was a continiously outcome from my WBA Rainbow Marbled Angelfish. To say it directly...it was just a question of to do the correct selection....but it always was a question of the regulation of the environment to its full filled best stage that the offspring expressed this aspect really. So for me it was possible,to breed such angelfish....and to name them,I gave them the name Diamond Sun Angelfish. May this post inspire my good friend in the United States, who actually work at a similar case .

08/08/2024

Now the baby fish look like Angelfish....

The offspring now is three weeks old since free swimming,all have nice ventralfins,what can be used as a good indicator for its healthy growing. The female lead the group of the 21 baby fish through the tank and is offending my shop customers.

05/08/2024

Natural breeding is my favorite method....

The offspring now is two and a half weeks old since free swimming....the shape gets more and more similar to the parents shape...and the offspring grow up very well. Actually the female keep its babies alone,because the male was a bit hyper active....there are now 21 baby fish under the broodcare of its mother....

31/07/2024

In the hobby...
...an aquarium means nothing without any fish...and a fish means nothing,without a beautiful aquarium. It is so easy to understand, that a ful filled and well cycling environment is not only the home,the space for fish keeping, such environment is affecting directly the vitality and health status of the fish and is a true source for useful ressources for the fish. Such environment is producing the stability of the underwater world,like its water,its plants,its whole scape. This tank runs by a concept,which I developed to make my customers happy and to make them to better hobbyists. Enjoy the pictures....

30/07/2024

It was in the year 2008....

It is always a great opportunity to present fish at the Interzoo Fair Nürnberg Germany. I had the great honore to present a new developed angelfish line from my breeding facility WBA in May 2008. The line was an outcome of my WBA Diamondblue Angelfish as a xanthoristic line. The selection criterias has been for an orange body coloration,covered by intense brighting guanine pigments, looking like blue glitter and formed as a very filigran pattern. I know,that this very special line inspired also other angelfish breeder to breed own lines similar to my WBA Pink Silk Angelfish.

29/07/2024

Natural Breeding of Angelfish...

Broodcare for angelfish as biparental cichlids is a really "hard work". Three days ago I decided,to take the male out of this Aquarium, because it acted more and more stressed and tried to separate the larvaes into two groups....one group around it and one group around the female.During this intense acting a lot of larvaes got lost.Now the female is with round about thirty larvaes busy,to change places in aquarium and looking for food. The larvaes offers the typical swarming behaviour of angelfish larvaes. So,all is fine and the larvaes grow very well.

26/07/2024

When ever it comes to Pterophyllum scalare from Rio Negro area....

Today: Rio Demini Angelfish

With this post I want to give information about the aspect of polychromatism in all of these large sized variety from upper and middle part of Rio Negro. At the pictures you can see juvenile angelfish from Rio Demini variety from one and the same batch of offspring. You can see,that the splitting into a redback morphe and into a red spotted back morphe is the situation. By the years I have understood,that the real difference is not in the aspect of its red coloration as a space or as dots/spots. The true difference is in its covering of these red back spaces with high amounts of guanine pigments at any fish and at any fish not.These guanine pigments extra can be expressed in different ways.At the Red back individues it comes at the seam of the red color like light metallic blue wafes....at the spotted individues it comes like a metallic blue bright and looking like a fine mosaique pattern. To make it clear....all aspects,which we also can find at the other species Pterophyllum altum. The genetically cluster for this maybe comes from the same ancestors,they had together a very long time ago. It is very important,to clear this case in near future,to get a better picture about the genus Pterophyllum and about relations between the actually scientific described species.

Whenever it comes to Pterophyllum scalare from the upper and middle part of Rio Negro

Today: Rio Demini Angelfish

Another one natural variety of the species Pterophyllum scalare....and: maybe the most beautiful red back morphe of this species. Angelfish from this region offers a very high amount of a nearly glowing (from inside) red coloration at back region.They also reached enormous hights between fin tipps of around 30 cm. This variety is a really rare variety and not many hobbyists had the luck,to keep some of these. Its dorsalfin is also intense orange red colored.

24/07/2024

Whenever it comes to Pterophyllum scalare from upper and middle part of Rio Negro....

Today: Sao Gabriel Angelfish

This natural variety of the species Pterophyllum scalare is one of the really big growing angelfish varieties. They can reach nearly Altum size with a hight between the fin tipps between 28 to 32 cm. The pictures are about the fish , which has been imported by Aquarium Glaser Germany in 2013. Please take a look at its pattern and coloration in analfin,which is really very unique in Pterophyllum scalare. I have kept these fish between 2013 to 2017. For this period I also studied the behaviour of Sao Gabriel Angelfish related to Pterophyllum altum from Rio Ventuari . In result it was to be seen,that the Sao Gabriel Angelfish tried to interact sexually with the Ventuari Altum,but the Altum always ignored it and conter attacked the Pterophyllum scalare through the whole period of this observation.

23/07/2024

Its day six today of the beginning with freeswimming of the larvaes. The larvaes grow up very well and get feed four to five times a day. The parents care their larvaes very patiencefully. Its good to be seen,that the harmony between the male and the female is directly a result of,that they can follow the genetically programmed rules for the broodcare.
