Blue Leopard Angelfish

Blue Leopard Angelfish

These popular species are bred from a similar pattern found in rivers all throughout the Amazon River basin. From the more mottled pattern of the wild silver angelfish breeders in Taiwan were able to isolate the blue gene along with the unique marble and spotted "leopard" pattern. One striking feature of the leopard angelfish is that the blue gene becomes apparent at the jumbo size, but do not expect any hint of blue at smaller sizes. If you "google" the picture of a blue leopard often you will get the picture to the right, a pattern very similar to blue pinoy. Our Indo breeders are notorious for sending either pattern for the leopard, and we never know until they get in. If you are dead set for one or the other pattern let us know when you order in the comment section or ask prior to ordering!
