The Sire is
without any doubt the best male I have bred so far! He is a royal blue mask HM PK (Blbl) with a strong body,
full dorsal and nicely parallel anal. I hope he will pass these characteristics to the
next generation.
The female is metallic blue but I find it difficult to determine if she
is turquoise of royal blue based. The offspring (F3) will be HM PK with a chance of getting DT PKs. I'm quite sure both parents are carrying metallic, but don't know if they are hetero- or homozygotic metallics. |
