Selective breeding has produced a wide range of colors, patterns, and phenotypes among the many types of barb fish available in the aquarium trade today. Depending on the species or...
Despite being the more prevalent species in the aquarium trade, malabar danios have repeatedly been mistaken for numerous other Devario species, such as the giant danio (Devario Aequipinnatus).
Through selective breeding, the gold convict cichlid was bred due to a genetically mutated color caused by an autosomal recessively inherited gene. This phenotype lacks the dark black stripes that their wild counterparts display.
Through selective breeding, the white convict cichlid was bred due to a genetically mutated color caused by an autosomal recessively inherited gene. This phenotype lacks the dark black stripes that their wild counterparts display.
