The Sire is a cambodian-based HMPK with a nice intense red color and minimal iridescence. Ideally the mouth-to-dorsal topline could be a bit smoother. The caudal has a nice D-shape, the front rays of the dorsal are nicely directed forward and the anal is nicely trapezoid-shaped. The ventrals have a volume and shape. The Dame is a cambodian-based red HMPK  female from my own line with minimal traces of iridescence. The red coverage on the head ideally could be better but she shows a nice bodyshape and balanced finnage. Ideally the base of the dorsal fin could be a bit broader.
With this cross I hope to fix the strong bodies, smooth topline and balanced finnage. The offspring (F1) likely will be cambodian-based red HMPK.
