The Sire is lightbody yellow HMPK with a nice bodyshape (although body is slightly short). The caudal has a nice D-shape with a smooth appearance. The anal has a good trapazoid shape, the dorsal has a good volume with the front rays nicely directed forward. The ventrals have a good length and volume. The Dame is a dalmatian with a nice long body, although her topline could be better. The caudal does not no reach 180 degrees in full flare but I have confidence in her genetic background. She has a nice broad-based dorsal and an anal fish which is pretty parallel to the body. 
With this cross I hope to fix the strong bodies, smooth topline and balanced finnage. The offspring (F1) likely will be darkbody and lightbody red, orange or yellow with a chance of dalmatian to pop up.

The Sire is also Father of: BT011016 & BT061116A.
