混合神仙鱼和发现它们是在热带珊瑚礁上是一个以上最丰富多彩和有趣的鱼类的粉丝更有趣的方面。有时混合动力车非常明显，就像自然的图案化一样venustus x多宝石杂交, others like theBlueface x六个杂交are more subtle, but still recognizable.
There are three species ofHolacanthus神仙鱼in the Caribbean and two of them, the queen and blue angelfish which frequently hybridize as a cross known as theTownsend Angelfish。但是，众所周知，一个物种，岩石美丽的神仙鱼，却与女王神仙鱼杂交，而两个物种在加勒比地区相当普遍，并且在加勒比地区普遍存在，它们的杂种十字架仍然令人惊讶。
迄今为止，只有两个可靠地确认的杂种Holacanthus tricolor＆H. ciliaris上面王朝海洋的一个图像，另一个混合人物在京都诺霍斯的世界神仙的神仙发表。两个“美女皇后”都是一个亮黄色的身体着色，整体上有一个暗黑的黑色贴片，大部分的身体后部都是一个岩石美的非常大的黑色贴片，覆盖着身体的后部三分之二。
As withClarion X通过混合剂，类似的彩色物种Holacanthuscan produce hybrids with a blend of features that may be very subtle especially when they are younger and are not yet showing their full adult coloration. With these guidelines in mind we’ve long inspected a huge number of slightly oddball specimens of queen angelfish, over many years, especially those with brighter overall yellow coloration.
Exactly ten years ago we shared at least one example of a非常明亮的黄色女王神仙鱼但是，这种未成熟的样本被清楚地记录成一个完全正常的女王神仙鱼，所以在这种情况下，并非所有闪闪发光的都是金色的，而不是所有亮黄色女王神仙鱼都有岩石美女。经过多年的留意，我们遇到了一个large黄色女王神仙鱼的标本是我们遇到的美丽女王神仙鱼的最佳候选人之一。
在挑选咸水鱼缸时Top Shelf Aquaticsa couple weeks ago we came across a remarkable example of a fish that had been traded in for bullying, no surprise for a Holacanthus angelfish, but what caught our attention was not just bright yellow coloration throughout the entire specimen. Not only is this fish very yellow, but the blue bars on side of the body are reduced to a much smaller region that corresponds to the black patches of youngHolacanthus tricolor。
For us the smoking gun indicator of some unusual genetics is the shorter body combined with smaller, much more rounded dorsal and anal fin instead of the usual long trailing streamers that are unmistakeable in pure bredHolacanthus ciliaris.。Small and adolescent rock beauty angelfish have very rounded dorsal and anal fins only developing slight points when they are large adult specimens, bolstering our hypothesis about the lineage of Top Shelf’s very yellow queen angelfish.
我们将这张卓越的鱼的照片传递给了一些其他鱼头，而有些人惊讶，其他人并没有完全同意我们的思想，但我们只有几个清晰的美容皇后照相例子。还有情况互惠杂种we need to take into consideration as hybrids with a female queen and male rock beauty should look pretty different from those produced with a female rock beauty and a male queen angelfish.
有趣的是,如果这条鱼真的是一个beauty queen angelfish we would expect it to lose much of the blue coloration on the body and face, with the reduced patch of light blue bars transitioning into a patch of darker color along its backside. Regardless of its true parentage we thoroughly enjoy the mental exercise of teasing out the less obvious angelfish hybrids, it really helps get into the weeds of what is unique about the pure bred species but in the meantime, we hope to get some updates on this interesting yellow queen angelfish as it grows larger and more mature.
