The Sire is strong-bodied extended red HMPK with a nice intense red color and minimal iridescence. The Sire almost is one year old an is maintained his form very well. The caudal has a pretty good D-shape although the edges could be a bit sharper. The dorsal fin has a broad spread but the front rays could be a bit longer and more directed forward. The anal fin is in good proportion to the rest of the finnage and the ventral fins have a single tips with a good volume. The Dame is a cambodian-based extended red (slightly stressed and not showing full color at the picture) with nice long body, broad-based dorsal and balanced finnage. The Dame is a half-sister to the male and share the same mother.
With this cross I hope to fix the intense red color with minimal iridescence, strong bodies, smooth topline and balanced finnage. The offspring (F1) will be HMPK with a chance of DTPK to pop up. Colorwise there likely will be dark- and lightbody reds with a change of orange to pop up.
