katrina.hughes Posted November 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 Thanks guys - he was from Hollywood last weekend. Quite an aggressive little fella though. Has anyone had a spawn where a few of the babies have either one or both eyes missing? Found a few in mine and not sure whether to cull them now or let them keep growing :-?

Up to you, probably wouldn't make a huge difference if you let them grow up. If worried I'd cull, otherwise see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trilobite Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 few of the babies have either one or both eyes missing weird...personally i would cull especially if it is genetic, but if its influenced by environmental factors eg someone poking their eyes out its unlikey to be passed on to the next generation so they would still be suitable for breeding (if they can find their mates). At the end of the day though its up to you. your hmpk is stunning! you have some lovely fish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discusguru Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 That look like a throw back to normal plakat looking at the rounded tail. A HMPK have a tail spread of 180 degree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katrina.hughes Posted November 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 Thanks guys, yea he wasn't fully flared when I took the shot... its a good 180 degrees when he decides to show it lol. Not sure what to breed him with though - any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discusguru Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 A top quality true half moon to improve the tail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
