Matt Pedersen says:
Thomas, I'm not sure how to interpret all that. As I first reported a few years back, "Su privately noted that parents of these amazing babies represent the local Indonesian form of the species." https://www.reef2rainforest.com/2019/05/31/bali-aquarich-persistence-pays-off-regal-angelfish-bred/ The paper you are referring to is at https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1055790316300392 Of course, Sumatra is part of Indonesia, and if Su was able to provide a more concise origination point, all the better. I looked back, and the most recent images of adult Regals among Su's photos show the gray chested form. E.g. https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=4628280510519778&set=pb.100000136252407.-2207520000.. There is also this one, which appears smaller but also appears to have a yellow chest. Immature, still graying up? https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=4628280403853122&set=pb.100000136252407.-2207520000.. So for now, I stand by my understanding that these should grow up to be P. d. d., or possibly mixed given that they could originate from an area where the mixing of forms would logically occur.Thomas Roewer says:
Matt, Indonesia has actually all three regal angel forms: the Indian Ocean form, Pygoplites diacanthus flavescens, on the northwest of Sumatra, the Pacific form, P. d. diacanthus, nearly everywhere else, and the hybrid form in the south end of Sumatra.Thomas Roewer says:
Su said these are the India Ocean form. So, I suspect the wild grandparents of these came from Sumatra. Sumatra regal angels are exported via Bali, so they would be readily available to Bali Aquarich.Matt Pedersen says:
Shelley, there are two ways to answer that question regarding the F0 parents of the F1 generation. 1. My understanding is that these are the Indonesian form of the Regal Angelfish. As such, they'll mature with gray chests, as opposed to the yellow-breasted form that's most often collected and exported from the Red Sea. 2. From the wild. Every captive-breeding project originally requires wild broodstock at some point (and some actually require them in an ongoing fashion, sometimes for genetic reasons, or sometimes for reasons that still aren't clear).Shelley says:
Where are the parent fish of the F1 regal angelfish brood stock originally from? Thank youPeca says:
I hope they will be all killed
