FAMA's Angelfish Genetics Articles

By Dr. Joanne Norton

Between May of 1982 and March of 1994, Dr. Joanne Norton published 18 genetics articles on angelfish in Freshwater And Marine Aquarium (FAMA) magazine. Today, Dr. Norton's work is recognized by Angelfish breeders as a significant accomplishment in Angelfish genetics and is the foundation for their breeding programs.

In August 2000, Michelle Ricketts came across all 18 articles and obtained permission to publish them online for the benefit of all angelfish breeders & enthusiasts from the managing editor of FAMA Magazine.

Also granting permission, these articles are published with the permission of BowTie Inc., publisher of FishChannel.com.

We hope you enjoy them.
