The Sire is a strong-bodied copper HMPK with a pretty good balance & form. He has a nice big caudal fin and a dorsal which is directed forward (front rays could be longer). The dame is a copper/red HMPK with a good bodyshape, a smooth mouth-to-dorsal topline with nicely balanced finnage.  The Dame is a full sibling to the male.
With this cross I hope to fix the strong bodies, the smooth topline and the balanced finnage. The offspring (F2) likely will be copper HMPK with a chance of black lace, red wash and marble to pop up.
