Indjo. A comment on your opinion on the anal being "straight" according to the IBC standards the anal should slope

[CandiceMM]

This guy is amazing!!! I LOVE my HMPK's!!!! I think he is a rare/great find from Petsmart and I am so happy he found a home with you!!!! His colors and tail pattern are so striking, I too would ran out of the store with him!!!

As far as I know it's something like this:

LOL I find it amusing that the IBC sets a stardard for beauty... and everyone goes for it. what if tomorrow they suddenly decide the the OHM is desirable with a sloped extra long anal, minimal ventrals and dumbo ears...? :D O swear someone is making this stuff up XD right now it seems like the perfectly even fin thing is the goal :P

You two.... I pat you in the back. You pat me in the shoulder...

The topline is not bad, imo. Just that little dip after the dorsal, which doesn't get a whole lot broader in any Plakat I've seen. And the peduncle is broad enough to support the tail, which is quite balanced and symmetrical despite it's other faults. The spine runs more through the middle of the fish. All that topline stuff is muscle and ribs.
I suppose the ventrals could be fuller, but they're certainly adequate and nicely formed.
I always notice scalage. His is a little murky, but not bad.
<-----And, as you can see, I really like that color.

XD always great to have your input, Hallyx and his grumpy avatar!

Actually it isnt supposed to be like that.

"Anal: The anal fin has a trapezoid shape with the front rays (anterior) part shorter than the rear (posterior) part. From the front to the back the anal show as gradual slope coming to a pointed tip."
