ugly ducking from the pond of reject
is getting bred since all of her sister is gone
plus she is the last of her line

this is her

here is the male that she going to be bred with

male is lazy and a egg eater

here is her sibling sister to the female

which i don't have any more(seller stock)

Good luck with your spawn. She doesn't look too bad to me, of course I don't breed PK either.

 

[Curlyfatbottom]

She not to that bad
But she was bottom rank in her batch
Nice body form
Simi even fin
Nice thickness form side n top view
3"+

The down fall on her
Weak top fin
Not a full spread
round edge
4 ray branching max
Uneven branching

Reason I'm breeding her
All her sibling are 3"+ nice body
80% have straight edge
9+ ray
Branding 4 is the lowest
16 is the highest
15% have a full spread
Yes she the last one I've got

Thank you, I didn't know what to look for in a PK. Since I breed HM, I know their standards. My current spawn is all super deltas!

 

[Junglist]

I'm sure she'll produce some champions, hopefully the male doesn't eat it all. Good Luck!

 

[Curlyfatbottom]

For me I rate the hm, Pk n hmpk female the same way
Balance, form, fin n color( which I'm not touching at the moment)

That's a bumper
Will just don't give up.
If u fail try again

Breeding hm is a very hard work
A lot of effort n space to be put in
Water quality
Work out
Food
I've move always from the hm
Do to space, amount of work n turn out/sell is weak
Hm a very nip pick fish
To many problem
The fish out weight the cost

 

[Curlyfatbottom]

Hope she does
Using her good to fish the male bad
N the male good to fix her

 

[tpocicat]

HM's are a lot of work, but when you get a really good one, for me it's worth it!

 

[Curlyfatbottom]

It's always worth it when get a really good one.
But keeping him in that form take the same amount of work to produce him
So have u select the best of your batch yet.
How the one that I told u to keep a eye one when he/she was about a in. Long

 

[tpocicat]

That one turned out to be a female. She is very nice. I've gotten an OHM male. I hope that will help with the super deltas.

 

[Curlyfatbottom]

Cool
Did any of the female out do the mom in quality
Good that your try to improve what u have then getting another female to replace
Is the batch jar up or still in grow out tank???

 

[tpocicat]

I have several females I'm keeping my eye on. Her fins showed up on several of the fry.

I have 4 of the more aggressive males jarred. The others are still in the grow out tank.

 

[Curlyfatbottom]

Cool
I'll be following your tread to see the update on the fish.
