The Sire is a darkbodied CT with amazing finnage. His color is intense red with minimal blue iridescence. The Dame is a darkbodied red HM PK with  nice broad dorsal. 
With this cross I would like to initiate a new project in my fishroom, the creation of a crowntail plakat line. I choose a female of my own HMPK line to induce strong body and a broad dorsal. The offspring (F1) will most likely be most likely longfinned (PK carrier) darkbody red with a varying reduction in webbing.
