The Sire is a great colored copper red dragon with a nice branching in the caudal. The Dame is a spawn sister with a nice full body. The Dame is a spawn sister which is almost full masked metallic blue (blbl +nm or Blbl +nm) with a strong 180 degree spread and  balanced finnage. Both fish have the same father which makes them half-brother and half-sister. This makes this cross very interesting!!
The offspring (F1) will be HM PK with a chance of getting DT PKs. The colors will be a bit of a surprise but I expect some blues, coppers with some chance of blacks, marbles or lightbodied fish popping up. 

The Sire is also father of: BT171007A.
The Dame is also mother of: BT171007B.
