The Sire is a steel blue-based black lace HMPK. He has a nice big-sized caudal with a pretty good overall form. The Dame a strongbodied steel blue-based black lace HMPK female with a smooth topline and balanced finnage. The Dame is a full sister to the male.
With this cross I hope to fix the strong bodies, smooth topline and balanced finnage. The offspring (F1) likely will be darkbody steel blue-based black (lace) HMPK with a chance of marble to pop up.

The Sire is also Father of BT180917.
