Submission for new gene

Suggested gene name – Philippine BlueSuggested gene designation – pb/pb and +/pbNew Loci - yesGene type is recessive

Original cross of Blue to Wild Santa Isabel

Breed by Ken Kennedy

No counts and due to the gene being recessive the assumption is that all of the F1 offspring carry a single dose.

I would like to acknowledge the hard work that Mr. Ken Kennedy did in bringing the true nature of this gene to light

because without his contribution we may not be enjoying this beautiful new mutation.

Based on the above information I believe it is very obvious that this is a new mutation. It is a recessive gene on it’s own

Loci with no known Alleles at this time.

I ask at this time for The Angelfish Society to recognize and approve the name chosen by Mr. Kenneth Kennedy.

Philippine Blue (pb).
