this is my hmpk.please advice me,im newbie.this is my 1st hmpk.he's 4 month old.what his Dominant gen and Recessive gene?
what female i should breed with him?thank you.
Take everything I say with a grain of salt. This is what I've gleamed from reading and my own limited experience breeding.I
don't know his personal history but based on the visible stuff;
Recessives are Yellow color, short tail(pk), dragon scales are recessive/partial dominant.
Dominant-red(unless you breed to another fish that carries yellow you'll get red fry). Dragon scales are partial dominant-ish,so if you breed to a non-dragon you'll get fry wit partial dragon scaling.
I would get a red HMPK dragon female who has a yellow parent(carries yellow). This should give yo some yellow fry without washing it out(breeding yellow to yellow to yellow over a few generations tends to wash out the color).
Form wise I don't show, so someone else will need to comment. I personally prefer a sleeker look to the body where he looks to have a very tall body so I'd try to find a female with those genes.
thank you.please critique,im still learning.
i already breed him with white platinum female..sorry dont have the female picture.this is my 1st breeding.now fry 2 days old.
@bambijarvis.
thank you for advice.i got this dragon pair.but at the end i breed him with white reddish platinum female.after this breeding succes,i will follow your advice to get red dragon female hmpk.
The platinum female will reduce his dragon scaling. The fry should look "patchy". The fins should be an ivory to dirty yellow color.
I personally would breed him either to a yellow or red dragon scale. If you go with red you will get all red in the F1 most likely but yellows will pop back up if you breed back.
Form wise he has a short body, slight spoon head, stubby first dorsal rays, round tail and "swoopy" anal.
But his colour is amazing! I dont know much about colour genetics but Id go with a red dragon if you cant find another yellow dragon and you should get his colour back in F2 :-D
