Metallic CTPK combo 011017
This male's attitude is out of this world! I also selected him because of his large, strong body, extensive webbing reduction, and fairly good spread on the caudal. His topline could be smoother, the anal could be shorter and more level, and the first rays of his caudal could be longer and straighter. He also has the annoying red wash, but I am certain this can be improved upon in future generations.

This lady was the best female out of this spawn by FAR. She has a beautifully smooth body with pleasing proportions (although the caudal peduncle could be a tad thicker). Her caudal was the best 180 out of her siblings (with decent front ray lengths) and she has beautifully even and clean webbing reduction on all 3 unpaired fins. Her metallic coverage doesn't seem quite even and she also has some red wash, but again, I am sure this can be improved in future spawns.

With this brother-sister cross, I hope to further improve webbing reduction, increase the spread of the caudal, and fix strong bodies in my CTPKs. I actually recruited the Internet to help me decide which male to use!

I was also lucky that I was able to film the courtship process, from beginning to end, with this particular pair. Enjoy!
