1. Submission for new gene Suggested gene name – Philippine Blue Suggested gene designation – pb/pb and +/pb New Loci - yes Gene type is recessive

2. Original cross of Blue to Wild Santa Isabel
Female
Male

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

4. F1 mated pair from original cross
Female Ghost (S/+ -+/a - +/pb)
Male Silver (+/a - +/pb)

5. Combined count of heterozygous pb and wild type due to recessive nature

6. Silver (+/+ -+/pb or +/+) Heterozygous for blue gene or isn’t a carrier
Blue Silver (+/+ - pb/pb) Homozygous for blue gene F2

7. Silver Ghost (S/+ -+/pb or S/+ - +/+) Heterozygous for blue gene or isn’t a carrier
Blue Ghost (S/+ - pb/pb) F2

8. Blue Silver (+/+ - pb/pb)
Silver (+/+ -+/pb or +/+) F2

9. Silver (+/+ -+/pb or +/+) Heterozygous for blue gene or isn’t a carrier
Blue Silver (+/+ - pb/pb) Homozygous for blue gene F2

10. Blue Silver (+/+ - pb/pb)F2

11. A top down view of the fish show how easily you can distinguish homozygous fish from the rest of the population A light base color vs. tan. F2

12. Phenotypic expression on known Genes/Alleles
Blue Marble M/+ - pb/pb)

13. Blue Clown S/Z – pb/pb)

14. Blue Zebra Z/+ - pb/pb)

15. Platinum Marble (Gm/g – pb/pb)

16. Blue Smokey Sm/+ - pb/pb)

17. Pinoy Smokey D/+ - Sm/+ -pb/pb)

18. Pinoy Paraiba D/+ - S/S – pb/pb)

19. Pinoy Clown D/+ - S/Z – pb/pb)

20. Double Dark Pinoy Ghost (D/D – S/+ - pb/pb)

21. I would like to acknowledge the hard work that Mr
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).
