splendidbetta Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 His topline seems acceptable to me It could be abit smoother, but it shouldn't stop you from breeding him He looks like a nice fish overall, so good luck with him Do you have a female in mind for him?

holycow Posted April 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 hi splendid, thanks. thought you were going advise me to bannish him. yeah, his topline is a bit wobbly. i have a female but she's got a longish anal fin and her colour is weird. regards, ty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callatya Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 With that mix of colours in marble, you could probably get away with using any one of a number of colours providing the female had the form you liked. I like many of the features on this guy, I'd certainly give him a go That head shape is actually my favourite. I much prefer the slightly dished look to the bull heads that you get on most chunky plakats. Topline could be better, but it is only small wobbles, nothing drastic.

Phil Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 He looks like he has a very nice shape to him! Goodluck with him :giggle: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuckie Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 I like his form. If the female has a longish anal fin I would avoid using her. What outcome were you aiming for? Like Abbey said with his colour, you'd still get marbles. SO I would find a female with the form you want and work with her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bender Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 He's lovely! I like the slightly pouty look his head shape gives. Do you have any pics of his potential mates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
