The Sire is a strong-bodied (metallic?) blue/red HMPK with a nice mouth-to-dorsal topline. He has a broad-based dorsal which is nicely directed forward (first rays could be longer). The caudal fin has a good 180 degree spread but the corners ideally should be sharper. The Dame is a compact and balanced metallic/dragon blue HMPK with an impressive caudal fin and nicely parallel anal fin.  
With this cross I hope to fix the strong bodies, smooth topline, balanced finnage. The offspring (F1) will be metallic/dragon blue HMPK with a varying degree of red wash. There is a slight chance of lightbodied fish and marbles.

The Dame is also Mother of: BT061012B & BT091112.
