one of the 2 males I keep in spawn #5
5 weeks old at just below 1.5 inches |
The Salamender Plakat line is one of the lines that I seriously track besides the red line. I've been trying to rejuvenate my sala line since the last major accidental wipe out leaving only a few less-than-optimal fishes as breeders. I had done a total of 5 test spawns this year and only keep a few from each to selective breed for features. Spawn #5 this year has a few with acceptable bandings and features.

This line looks like a symmetrical plakat when young, but the finnages will usually grow longer as it ages. It is very challenging to maintain a thicker banding which is balance throughout the finnages. When one parameter is tracked too closely, the other parameters tend to go haywire :(
