here we go guys! just new try with DP male * CT female, any one can predict what will the fries look like?

prove that females will fight!

Guessing crown tails with longer row of fins on the back? That would be veeeeerrrryyy nice:o

DP = Doubletail Plakat? I've always known the abbreviation as DTPK.

Anyway, obviously you can't predict 100% what the outcome is and I've never worked with DT unfortunately. However, from what I understand it isn't a dominant gene. It's a genotype that unless crossed with pure DTxDT you will get a random amount of DT through several generations.

As CT is a dominant gene however, there will obviously be some crowning in most of the fry.

So, as a 'off the top of my head' prediction... I'd say you'd end up with the below mixture of fry.

- Long, single finned with crowning (with PK and DT geno)

- Long, finned double tail with crowning

- Short, single finned with crowning (DT gene)

- Short, finned, double tailed with crowning

Presuming the mother is 100% CT and not a cross with something else, the offspring in my opinion would be classed as 50% CT and the other half would be a mixture depending on what fin type the fish actually was.

One thing to remember is that Plakat isn't a tail 'type' as such eg. CT, HM, VT. Its just a word used for short finned fighters and can still show other genes just on a different sized fin.

Hope this makes a little sense It's hard putting it in writing.

And please, anybody feel free to correct me if I'm wrong!

first of all what are you trying to achieve by crossing the two fish.

I would say you will get a whole lot of rubbish in F1 and F2 lol.

:oops: lol, hey Ron, i knew you would say that. No, this is just a try, a project, and just want to get the first hand evidence for our community, coz i have the DP and want to see how it would be like. :bounce: and it could be a very interesting project for our community. and i think most fighter lovers want to see what the fries will be like

my thoughts - you will get a ct looking fish that you won't be able to tell whether its male or female for ages as it will have short fins and a tail.

My opinion - a cross will be a mess.
