Possibly breeding this Black Orchid?

[Mal72]

I do not have any definitive thoughts about breeding at the moment; however, I recently purchased this Halfmoon that may have potential. If I had to guess, I would say that he is in the 3-6 months range and very eagerly makes bubble nests after every water change. I have another Black Orchid HM, but his fins are more rosetail. I just wanted to know if I had any plans for breeding if he is a good choice?(provided I could get a good female) If not, I still love him regardless. Thank you for the feedback.

I'm sorry about the random glare on his face.

Love his coloring! His anal is a bit long but I'm finding that common in HMs. If you find yourself a female to compliment him, and you have your set ups ready and a growout tank I say go for it - plus he is a good age to breed as well.

I agree that his anal fin is pretty darn long but the right female should correct that in the fry

Good age, no visible defects, great color... It would be awesome if you breed him to the right female!

I think with the right female, you'd get some nice fry. Love the coloring!

Go for it, once you get a good female you should get some nice offspring.

The main thing I notice on him is that his first and last tail rays are pretty short making him look like he doesnt have a sharp angle like he should. Not saying to scrap breeding him because of that, just saying find a female that has that sharp edge when she flares to help correct it.
Other than that I think he'd be a good canditade.

Definitely! A female with the sharp edges would compliment him :3 that's the fun with breeding... Getting a great pair to compliment each other and see what the results are (especially with colors)

Thank you for the feedback everybody! My only hesitation is that both of my chain Petstores have only CT or VT females. I would prefer to have a HM female if I could...Honestly, the females have been a bit slim. I'm thinking of starting a sorority soon, so perhaps, I will find one when I do that. :)

Check out Aquabid - sure they are more expensive and you have to pay for shipping BUT... Better quality, plus depending on where you are they may be close by anyways.
