The Sire is a strong-bodied (metallic?) blue/red HMPK
(with a slight white edge around the finnage) with a nice mouth-to-dorsal topline.
His dorsal is directed forward with a nicely long first ray. The caudal fin has
a good 180 degree spread with nice straight outer rays. Even though the
anal fin is slightly too long in comparison with the rest of the finnage,
it shows a great shape with the front nicely directed forward. This male
has some very large pectoral fins (also referred to as "dumbo/big ears")
which nicely match the rest of his finnage. The dame is a blue/red (slight
butterfly edge) HMPK with
a strong body and smooth mouth-to-dorsal topline. Her finnage is nicely
compact and balanced with a nice D-shaped caudal, broad-based dorsal and
relatively
parallel anal fin. The Dame is also mother of: BT141212. |

14/06/13: The fry is now 17 weeks old. They fish are developing slowly but well. So fare I have not spotted any males. All the fish show normal pectoral fins which seems to confirm that large pectorals ('big ears/dumbo') is a recessive trait. |
