Step forward or not?

Hi friends,
how the most are know, I have not so much time for breeding, because I get a new job in my company and have a lot of workshops on weekends and after work. So I work at the moment only with my copper ctpk´s. The last spawn was a F4 generation spawn between sisters, and Iam dissapointed for the results.
I think I make a little step forward by the quality of the anale, but specially the dorsales got not more
reduction between the rays. I think it is time for a outcross.
I will show you the picture of the father and one son, that you can build your own opinion. Hope you give me a feedback.

Best regards
Axel

Son F5

Red CTPK Project from Germany

Hi all,
I will show you two youngsters of the red CTPK F3 Line from Markus Bache (Germany).
He is a good Betta friend and work still in Background on his own CTPK Projects.
The spawn get out ten betta, 3 longfin males, 2 shortfin males and 5 females. The males
on the pictures are 3 months old.
I like his work and his CTPK have a lot of potencial to work with them in the future.
My personal favorit is the second male. He is looking very good.

Hi friends,
now I will show you one of CTPK Projects from Markus Bache (Germany). He is a good Betta friend and had no time to post his projects here. But I will do this for him.

He start this line with a HMPK father (from Vodoo) and CT female (from Yothi). He give me the ok to post pictures of the F3. He told me that all spawns have only 10 fries, and the most of them were shortfins. Only two longfins are in this spawn but with very bad quality.
When you have questions I can ask him and post it here.

Best regards
Axel!
