CTDT 021413 Valentine's Day
With this cross, I hoped to solidify and continue the good qualities of both brother and sister. I wanted to see whether I would continue to get broad dorsals and good webbing reduction, as well as recover the CTDT target phenotype.
The late arrival of my first CTDT really made me happy! This one was definitely a late bloomer. His body is nice and smooth throughout its length (although he does have a scoop above his eyes). Although there are no peduncle bumps, he does have very uneven lobes :/ However, he has impressive webbing reduction for having HM DT only two generations away. His dorsal mirrors the forward thrusting anal nicely, however I am wary of the 3 stubby rays at the front of the dorsal (a severe fault in the IBC standards).
I am going to wait until I see the results of my CTDT outcross (spawn 050313 with the same mother) before determining what my next step should be. I already see better caudal splits in that spawn than in this one. It might be worth doing a brother x sister spawn, or I might cross the triband sister with a male from another spawn.
