Black Traditional Plakat Project
Black traditional PK brought back from Kampffishfreunde, Friedrichshaffen, Germany in March 2014. By Josip Kevari (Croatia) out of Peter Barwald's lines (Germany).

I have always admired the black traditional plakats in Europe, and I was so incredibly pleased to get a couple of pairs stemming from Peter Barwald's line through Josip Kevari! Peter was able to provide pictures and some of the background to the creation of his black traditional PKs:
Peter Barwald: I bought the first Superblack Trad. PK from Aquastar71. With each subsequent spawn's offspring I saw red get more and more black. So I tried to get this great black into a longfin line. I took a Superblack Trad. PK and bred him with a Red HM female. A few generations later I got the first Superblack HM. All offsprings in this line always show red before black, mostly into the fins. It was the same black as by the Trad. PK.
When I took a blue female bred with the Superblack Trad. PK I did not get a Superblack or deep black. I got only a Melano Black which is more grey than black. I never tried it with a metallic blue or a copper, but I heard that copper can make the grey deeper.
