Well, as the title says. I rescued a KKP. The poor girl was at petco in the koi for sale tank. I noticed her freezing her tail off in there as i walked back to grab some carbon, so i payed 10$ and strung her from death row. Her head was riddled with scars of HITH. Poor thing. I took her home and introduced her to my tank. Now, my Red Devil X BP is courting her. It is really fun to watch. My question is, do you think I should allow them to breed?
 
ya i would breed them would make more KKP's imo
 
If she is healthy I don't see an issue with it. She might mot be pretty anymore from the scarring but if she doesn't have a genetic issue you can see I would do it.
 
her breeding tube has extended and she has hidden in a pot structure and pics are not possible at this time. my Red devil x BP mix however i can get a few shots of... he is circling the structure. I assume I will have eggs by morning!

edit i got a shot of her poor face and pics of the male red devil x BP

it is sad. But i couldn't resist rescuing her. I mean come on they had her in with Koi at 65*
 
Her face may recover some under the right conditions. Although it appears healed fairly well now, there's a chance it will fill out again within a year and she'll probably just have a few white marks and shallow dents left.
 
If not send her my way. I would love to breed this fish. You're already halfway there to making some nice kkp with the rd/bp male.
