Pygmy angelfish of theCentropyge属属是整个神父家族中最混杂的杂交者之一。但是，在这些情况下，烈饰有定期与生锈的神仙鱼杂交，形成生锈的火焰，但其他十字架更加罕见。
By contrast, the Potter’s angelfish,Centropygepotteri, hybridizes much more infrequently. The reason for this is simple, because the range ofCentropygepotterioverlaps with the range of few other species of pygmy angelfish. We’ve covered the cross ofpotter’s with fisher’s angelfish, but today we have evidence of an even rarer hybrid.
What you see here is one of the first new pictures of a flame x potter’s angelfish we’ve seen in over a decade – and if memory serves us correctly, this is only the second one on record! This image shows a medium sized hybrid of a flame and a potter’s angelfish, showing a beautifuldeepred body coloration which would be very unusual for either of the parent species.
At present this precious fish is being conditioned somewhere in the Pacific Ocean near where it was captured. Hopefully this great specimen of a potters x flame angelfish hybrid has a smooth ride to its next handler who will shower us with many more pictures of this very special angelfish.
