Gender and what type or strain??

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Your response also doesn't answer how the blue dragon is no longer a strain. You only answered with your description of a blue dragon.

It seems what I find completely contradicts what your saying. Not all zz have to have pearls. There are plenty of srd with absolutely no pearls. Unless you are talking about the flowerline. I'm talking pearls as far as worm pearling, armour pearls, netting pearls etc. All zz do have a flowerline that's what zz means. To be specific to your respone, not all zz have a pearl pattern that I'm referring to as a blue

Zz is zhen zhu. Literally meaning like wealthy with pearls so..... The flowerline thing above is rubbish.
All zz should have pearls. If they do not they aren't good ones lol. The quality is based on pearl coverage. Breeding for pearl coverage is where the silk mutation comes from. Blue dragon were severely affected by droop tail and nasty looking fins and did not age well. I have personally not seen an actual blue dragon since at least 2008 or 09. They are gone and nowadays we have the supercharged srds and kamfas that are so much better. That's why I say they don't exist as a strain anymore. No matter what somebody who is trying to sell you something says.
Does that make sense to you now?
 
A flowerhorn grade is initially based off of the script or flowerline. 75% to 100% script is a. 50% to 75% is b. Less the 50% is c. There is no such thing as bb or bbb same with c. although with a you can have a, aa, aaa. Once you've established a you move to a few other things to determine a higher grade. Kok, color, body, fins, script/ flower. To be a aaa it must show strong traits of all that are listed. In your fish case your flowerline is good. Kok is OK. Color is lacking a little but may be due to the picture. Body thin. Fins OK. Flowe/ script is good. Imo you have an a maybe aa if the colors are better in person and he bulks up a little more.

Yea he's a nice fish. He's still got a lot of growing to do. He will be a good fish once he's grown. He's going to have a large kok by looking at the size now. What are you feeding, tank size and what lighting are you using?
