Two Fancy Female Breeders

I managed to get two good fancy female breeders, one from a Thai breeder and another from a Malaysian breeder. Eventho they are not 6-color fancies, they are the best I could find to cross with my males for my 6-color fancy project. One thing tho, due to time and space constraint, I had to sell off one of the females as I could not accomodate too many spawns...

6 Color Fancy

Allow me to introduce a new purchase from a Thai breeder. This is the 6 color fancy with the type of color combination I'm talking about in the previous post. Here we also see the dual tone yellow-orange fins with red "armageddon"/"dalmation" speckling on top. Having parents of this color is no guarantee that you will get offsprings of the similar color. My task is made more challenging as it was difficult to get my hands on good female breeders with similar color combination.

The male is a real stunner. Besides the pretty decent finnage, as you can see it has 6 colors : Blue (turquoise), white, yellow, orange, red, and black. Some may even say it has a 7th color, green, splashed on the dorsal and caudal.

Perhaps at the end of the day, I could start producing fancies with this coloration, with even better marbling on the body compared to this male. Wish me luck in this fancy project.

Fancy DTPK with my favourite fancy color combo

This is my new purchase (Actually, got him almost three months ago). A DTPK Fancy from a Thai breeder. I am not really a big fan of fancies, but I really love this type of color combination. So, here I decided to begin a line of fancies, hopefully even creating a line worthy for competitions. Who knows, it may become a champion line. :) As for this color, hope that I am able to produce lots and lots of fancies with this colors, with even better pattern and contrast on the body. Also aiming to get the red "armageddon" speckling on the dual-shade (yellow orange) fin surface, as this would make a super outstanding fancy with good pattern on the fins topped up with a 6 color finish (yellow, orange, red, blue, black and white).
