Indeever congratulations on your significant contribution to fish science and adding the knowledge of the genome of angelfish.  But we also appreciate that you are a Certified Koi Keeper (CKK) with Koi Organization International.

"17-year-old Indeever Madireddy sequenced the genome of his pet angelfish after it died – the first time this species has been sequenced.......
 
“Although my fish was dead, I wanted to preserve it forever,” he says. “So I decided to sequence the genome of the angelfish with the hopes that I could contribute that information to the scientific community, while also paying a small tribute to my pet!”
