Hypothetical Breeding.

[magnum]

I have two CT's now, my male and female and I was curious as to what people thought they needed if they were to be improved or possibly deformities the fry may have depending on what the parents look like if they were hypothetically bred.

Here is the female:



Male:

Could we see the whole side of the fish including fins? In the first picture you can't see all of the ray branching, and in the second you can't even see the branching on the tail

Its gonna be a geno..

at least I see CT's. Best be proud your gonna be a mom or dad.

Is it the fin that's deformed? I see a torn fin.

We need a side view of them in a defence position to be able to judge them properly.

Basically they need the same form as a regular HM. But "balance" for CT is both fin lengths and web reduction.

Female: Body is OK. good dorsal (long front rays). Poor caudal - too round and probably doesn't open 180*. Anal seems to be too long (not sure)

Male: Body OK. Dorsal OK. Poor caudal - uneven rays (not sure), not open 180*. Anal seems OK - balanced (not sure).
