Spring 24 breeders; I have some nice pairs to start the year and some juvies with strong colors coming on. The goal this year is to 1. fix the body shape especially the top line and forehead. most batches are good now but I still do some trade off on the lines when I get a fish with great color. seems these two do not always come in the same package. when you get a morph with strong color, there might be some head or body shape sacrifice; especially when I breed a fish from outside into my females. this year my goal is to work this closer to perfect this. 2. I have some males with beautiful long fins. I want to work in and stabilize these genetics in the line. 3. I have a tiger strain that I want to develop, metallic orange with dark stripes. 4. intensify the color and sheen in the lines.
