Jeff rapps, wetspot, and a few other people I found on the internet(don't know their name.) I've been thinking of trying bioaquatix HRP line next. very picky of what goes in my genetic and of course the goal is trying to get the bluest of the blue while maintaining the HRP shape.

here's one of my old female. seem like after having her offspring none of them look as good as she was. oh well one like her will pop out eventually again

if you’re looking for a really blue line that’s still pure I can help you with that. I’ve been line breeding mine and here’s my 2nd generation super blue male. He has some fry right now that are growing nicely.

Kev do they breed true?

Well I mixed the lines. I had Red Points from 2 trusted sources. When they bred, the offspring carried genomes from both parents. The Gen 1 Dad (green male from rusty) bred with the Gen 1 mom (blue female from Ken Davis) and the offspring were 1/3 blue, 1/3 green and 1/3 mixed with characteristics from both. For some reason, the offspring (Gen 2) were more colorful than the Gen 1 parents. The super blue male that I just posted a picture of is Gen 2. I then took him because he was the bluest male, and pared him with the bluest female of the batch, and created Gen 3, which were super blue as well, and all of those bred true to their parents. but they all got sick and died when I was having a problem with the parasites in my tank. So now I have my Gen 1 couple, Gen 2 couple, and a few green Gen 2’s. My super blue gen 2 couple just laid eggs and they’re raising fry right now.

Any of your bioaquatix still kicking? The only male I have left is developing quite nicely. I’ll be taking him to one of my locally acquired hrp lines.

That’s great to hear you got things under control and still have the bases too your line. I look forward to more Gen 3 blues growing out!

I have 1 bio aquatix male left, and he so happens to be the most colorful one, he’s bred with a green line female before but the fry didn’t survive. He’s doing great tho lol

Yeah I’ve got plenty, but you can’t post videos on MFK right? Unless I’m missing something lol, but anyway, here’s my super blue female (Gen 2) in her “blue form”. I’ll post pics of them with the fry today.
