The Sire is a steel blue HMPK with a strong body with a smooth topline. The caudal fin has a good D-shape, the anal fin a nice trapezoid shape and volumnous ventral fins. The dorsal fin has a good shape but ideally could have a broader base. 
The Dame is a turquoise HMPK with a nice long body and smooth topline. The outer rays of the caudal fin ideally could be a bit longer in order to create an optimal D shape. The base of the dorsal is slightly broader than that of the male and the anal fin and ventral fins nicely match the rest of the finnage. Sire and Dame are half-siblings as they share the same mother.
With this cross I hope to fix the strong bodies, smooth topline and balanced finnage. The offspring (F1) will be light- and darkbodied royal blue HMPKs.
