The Sire is a steel blue HMPK with a nice bodyshape, a smooth D-shaped caudal, a broad based dorsal which is nicely directed forward. The dame is royal blue HMPK with a good, strong bodyshape, a smooth mouth-to-dorsal topline and balanced finnage. The Dame is a full sister to the Sire.

With this cross I hope to fix the strong bodies, the smooth topline and the balanced finnage. The offspring (F2) likely will be royal blue and steel blue based HMPK or DTPK with a chance black lace, red wash and marble to pop up.
