Just for reference this is Io


Or if anyone here has a half moon going that they think would be Mr Right let us know:D

Colour wise, they match is pretty good :D The only thing to watch is the length of the anal fin. Your girl has a fair length and the male has a very long anal fin. You wouldn't want to extend the anal fin anymore than the male already has, as it may lead to swimming problems.

Hmm very good point. If you see a male more suitable do let me know haha He's still a stunner mind.

Wow that female is absolutely incredible? Did you breed her?

The other thing I'd be looking for in a male maybe is a longer based dorsal than she has but not excessively so. It's easy to over-analyse a cross and make the mistake of trying to compensate rather than compliment. Say you had a fish with too long of a body. Rather than looking for a partner with a short body, you go for the closest to ideal body length you can find. That way, the genes present in the line are 'ideal body' and 'long body' and in the fry, you can just select the ones with the ideal body length. If you'd crossed 'long body' and 'short body' then the fry would likely LOOK right, but have a combination of two 'wrong' genes.
The obvious exception to this (as pointed out by Vandraco) is fin length which seems to be close to halfway between the fin length of the parents in most cases. Except the VT/PK thing, where VT x PK = VT which masks the PK entirely, so your fins are just as long.

Thanks Laurafrog I wish I could take credit for her haha but I bought her from Modaz. Pennies well spent methinks! I'm very new to the whoe breeding malarky so it's good to hear from the experts what I should be looking for :D

Wow the female is brill, i hope you find a hubby soon.
