September 3, 201214 yr comment_495459 Is this a Betta plakat or round tail ? his bottom fin is a bit munched i can not tell Report
September 4, 201214 yr comment_495563 Definitely Plakat - plakat referring to the fact that it has a short tail. Report
September 4, 201214 yr comment_495605 Yes! it's just a normal short tail fighter. Plakat means short tail fighter. Report
September 4, 201214 yr comment_495607 Hes cute looks like a pk, do you know how old he is? Traditionals have 2 ray branching while hmpk have at least 4. This has more than 2 but his tails rounded and doesnt have a D shape tail so not hmpk. Technically I guess you could call them transitional pk (in between traditional and halfmoon pk) haha. Its probably got some delta or hm chucked in his background to give him the extra ray branching but crossed out to a traditional to give the roundy tail and uneven branching :smln: Report
September 5, 201214 yr Author comment_495690 Cool I haven't had a plakat male before. I was thinking he was a female until he started blowing a nest, looks like my females. Will hopefully be on the way to breeding some nice HMPK soon then, if i can get this guy to produce some nice females for me ill probably HAVE to buy one of those nice dumbo males and start working on plakats.

Hes really tiny for his age, looks half the size of some of his brothers still builds a nice size nest tho. Report
September 5, 201214 yr comment_495721 Its possible he could just be a long fin but a late bloomer. Luckily though all his siblings will be carrying pk and with the extra branching you've chucked in there from the hm father the F2 should result in some nice transitional pk even maybe some hmpk if you choose the siblings carefully (straight tail edge, more ray branching etc) We need heaps of hmpk theres not enough in nz at the moment all the hmpk have dopey elephant ears attached to their heads haha :lol: Report

September 5, 201214 yr comment_495744 haha the dumbos are creepy though, turns a perfectly nice hmpk into a clown :sml2: . Give me a well balanced hmpk anyday :thup: Report
