I am posting this on behalf of a friend of mine, whose father has given up selling angels to a local pet-store and has sold mostly all of his stock.

There are some angels left over though.

Though they are young fry and probably won't be shipping for a couple of months, depending on growth rate. Their siblings were culled, and either sent to the pet-store [which doesn't mind growing them out] or destroyed.

This is what is left

NO PICTURES, SORRY.

I'll try to work something out later, but no pictures now.


2 fry: Black angels. Parents were pure-bred blacks and third generation. The foundation stock was a misty black, but over the years, the generations were culled selectively for darkness of coloration. These fry will probably most likely be jet black with hardly any different coloration on their fins. Possibly one male and female, not sure of yet.

4 fry. "White" or albino blushing angels. Again, parents were pure-bred "white" or albino blushing angels, they are though sixth generation fish. The foundation stock [which consisted of 5 pairs of angels] were blushing and albinos. The parents were very pale but had very noticeable blushing gills. The fry will most likely look the same.

4 fry. "Grey" blushing angels. This is a mixed breeding, which accidentally happened when four unpaired angels from a good breeder were introduced at the same time. These fry come from a cross of blacks with albino blushing fish. They are greyish bodied, but they are only starting to show some slight blushing gills [the extent of which is unknown]


I am not that sure on the prices yet, and will tell you soon.
 
Black fry: 2 of them = $65 which includes shipping and handling
White Blushing fry: 4 of them = $150 which includes shipping & handling
Grey/blushing fry: 4 of them = $12
 
Hey WhiteAngel? Does the grey/blushing price include shipping? If so I want em LOL for that price I'd be a fool not to take em.

Its supposed to be $120 tho isn't it *sigh*
 
Actually, no..

It's $12-20 dollars since my friend's father doesn't want people to think that he had no idea how to control the breeding of his angels.

Wants to get rid of them quick.

They should be sell, latest at June.

Includes shipping & handling
 
Oooo! If that include shipping I want em! How do I get in touch with him??
 
4 weeks! Auugghh! I hate waiting LOL

But yes, I'm not just interested in them, I definitely want a pair if he hasn't promised them to someone else (obviously I mean I want 2; I know sexing them won't be possible yet; if he is unwilling to do just 2, I will take 4).

To be honest, I'm quite sure they are black blushers, and since my goal is to one day own at least one of every color/pattern morph, I neeeeeeeed them LOL and for the price its well worth it.

I am not that sure about that... my friend's father has been breeding angels for 15 years...

He says they are not black blushers... But they do have the black genes, so maybe you can work with them
 
Interesting. My angelfish genetics knowledge is a bit fuzzy (I hated punnet boxes in school LOL) but I know black blushers are D/D s/s...If they aren't black blushers I'll bet the next generation will be. The black blusher fry do start out grey. Plus, I don't have a grey angel anyway LOL
