Spawn RY Trad 072115
My last several spawns of red and yellow plakats only yielded one male (who will be spawned very soon - he just needed to gain more size). All of my females had great form and color, and I was at a loss of what to do next. I even considered dropping them in favor of focusing more on the CTPKs, but I just couldn't do it. I love them too much, and so does my grandfather!
I had been eyeing this male ever since Sieg showed him at our spring CBS show (which I chaired! Phew!). He easily won the traditional PK class there. He is extremely aggressive, with many good qualities of a traditional PK. I would much prefer less branching in the caudal, but I think crossing into my line will reduce the branching pretty quickly. Sieg does not breed for traditional PKs - they just pop out of his show plakat lines every once and a while. Sieg was kind enough to let me borrow this male after convention. I bred him to one of my lovely red females, and although the spawning was a little rough on her, we managed to get a good number of eggs and fry. He is a fantastic dad! In fact, he was such a great dad that he also took care of the metallic CTPKs from next door (CTPK color 072115). The CTPK male was not taking care of the eggs, so I carefully transferred all of the embryos to the red male. He took excellent care of both spawns!
