Saddleback cross

chong99 · 05-06-2013, 02:16 AM

Hi all,
Long time no post. Like to share my saddleback strain I've been working for nearly 2years... Bought at C328 in a pack of 5 males, short tail version. Crossed with my lace and grass females,... and after many generations... here are how they (the better ones) look like now, still many culls...
The delta tail pretty much there but spotted pattern still far from perfection.
Do share your comment on how to further improve.
Hope you like it

This one is my oldest male, about 4~5mth.

3mth+

and the young boys, 2mth+

cheers!

Hi, I'm the guy holding a blue pail

but which Q? Trio or group? Think I talked to bro LTQ n wee yup during queuing. Sorry didn't noticed u. Next time all AF bro should have a name tag

Yes, the tail size n pattern improved a lots since latest few batches. Manage to get some with nice tail. Didn't took much pic back then, will try to find if any stored in my camera.

trio queue..
uncle Henry was talking to you guys too...

I didn't see Wee Yap during then..

then I heard you mentioned that your fish got from C328 etc etc...

paid attention to those fish because Chris said that they are unique.. and after close look think they indeed are unique...

Haha paisei, talked too loud

Ya, so far I have not see many saddleback strains with delta tail. Mostly short tail.
