Why no large UNFADED bp?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
The internal problems can start becoming apparent with growth . The spinal issue can get more severe with growth as well. Keep her if she's healthy and you like her but yea you don't want to breed her. I just recommend strict deformity culling with shortbodies. There is alot to look out for but its worth it when you see a healthy adult sb.

If I'm breeding for expressed traits in my hybrid projects the fish that don't express the traits I'm after are culled, and that's just the way it is. You can breed 2 mp fh and will still end up with some less desirable fish. Oddballs are cool but I don't want to sell lesser quality fish.
I have saved a few nice color pearly runts from a few spawns and stocked a relative's tank with them lol.

Yeah... your last sentence in the first paragraph is very true and I can say you and Izzy both have(or have had) quality short bodies. Thanks for the input.

Internal problems have shown up pretty quick in the batch of fry im on within a couple of weeks I was noticing extreme bloating through out the fry no matter how much I fed but eventually all that had problems died out and I had no more issues of that nature with the rest of the fry since

Thank you for that also. I have never experienced bloat... I have to ask what were you breeding and what were they eating?

Oh ok. I have no experience with either one. So does that mean you have a pair that creates fish with weaker immune systems?

Aquatic Aggression... here she is.

She is cute and it doesn't really scream out at you like you said just uneven haha. Hope she keeps growing ok.
 
Thank you. Oh I know... it's more of me knowing the zigzag pattern is there. Even if I don't breed her... she's definitely a keeper! Lol

Thank you. Oh I know... it's more of me knowing the zigzag pattern is there. You can tell its not as smooth of a transition compared to a short body of quality. But you can also see she is not the average "round" type either. Even if I don't breed her... she's definitely a keeper! Lol

Here we go. This picture isn't the best. This bp is a good size, about 5" biggest unfaded one I've ever seen. From a local shop, not mine. Few hundred bps, only one unfaded.
