This pair could produce some nice offspring (F1) with some great finnage because of fantastic ray-splitting of both sire and dame. This outcross was selected in order to improve the finnage. The dame is a sibbling of Magicbettas Best of show HM female and 2nd HM male (GBC show - Cologne, Germany 2004).
This pair can produce both long-finned and plakat metallics, copper/golds and platinum whites. There is a chance some DTs will pop-up.

NOTE:
The Sire is also father of BT240404.
The Dame is also mother of BT210504. 

04/09/04: Pair spawned and the male is taking care of the eggs very well.

05/09/04: Eggs hatched!
06/09/04: Fry vertically hanging under the nest. The Sire is taking care very well.

07/09/04: Fry in free swimming stage. The male is removed.
10/09/04: Fry feeding well on artemia.
13/09/04: Looks like there are some DT fry in this spawn!! This means that both parents must have DT genes!!

20/09/04: Fry is growing really well. There could be some platinums in this spawn because there are a lot of light bodied fry. Made a pictures of a DT fry and a light bodied fry.

29/09/04: The fry is now 3,5 week old and growing steady. It looks like there are metallic blues, copper/golds and platinums in this spawn.

02/10/04: Fry now 4 weeks old.........made a picture of one of the fry showing already an extensive ray-splitting. This probably indicates rosetail finnage.

14/10/04: Fry now 5,5 weeks old and developing very fast. Here they are feeding on live tubifex!

21/10/04: Fry now 6,5 weeks old. Made some new pictures! With a special thanks to Eelzuhtjuh (Ilse) for making these pictures with her Canon EOS 300D.

24/10/04: Fry now 7 weeks old. I seperated the first three males. Two of them already show a 180 degree spread.
28/10/04: Jarred some more fish. Made two picturs of young males: A platinum white with red and of a copper green mask male, both are now 7,5 weeks old.

07/11/04: Just can't get enough of them.........had to show some more pictures.

09/11/04: Made another picture of a platinum white male which I personally think has a good potential. He's now 9,5 weeks old but he still needs a lot of development.

11/11/04: Fry 10 weeks old:

11/11/04: Fry 11 weeks old:

30/11/04: Made some new pictures of my favorites, now 13 weeks old.
