Copper CTPKs, males 1-10

[Shiraz]

I am located in Toronto Ontario, and am available for pick-up orders, or can ship within Canada.  Email me (laura.bissonnette@gmail.com) if you're interested, or just post here.

These are my 5 month old crowntail plakat males (short finned crowntails).  They are just getting to be a good size for breeding.    They are a really active, energetic, and aggressive strain, and are fun to work with.  So far they have been easy breeders and males have been good daddies, so these might be a good choice for new breeders that have trouble with HMs.  The main flaws I'm seeing in this generation is a rough looking topline, and lack of webbing reduction in some fins, so they are priced accordingly.  

Male 1 - $20

THE END!

I would really love to take on improving the CTPK but I'm going away for a month (it's been confirmed) this summer and wouldn't want to leave anyone to care for my current hoard of fish + new ones http://209.85.62.26/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' />

[MRuttle]

Do you happen to have females also?  

[Shiraz]

I do have a few females, but not many... perhaps 5-6.  I should be able to get some photographs of them by the end of the week http://209.85.62.26/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' />

[Ian Turkstra]

very nice marbling patterns on most of those!  I see what you mean about the toplines. Lots of them really do have great potential though!

I'm in the same boat as CMSTER.  Maybe I'll get some in early summer...

Do you have a pic of Male16 that's not in uber-contrast? I'm interested in him, and can use a regular pic with/without flash. Maybe a short movie clip?

PM me http://209.85.62.26/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' />

@ Zena: Yup, no prob!  The boyfriend stole my camera today, so I'll have to wait until tomorrow for the video.  I may have some better pics from yesterday, I'll go take a look see.


@ anyone: I just moved Male 11 to Aquabid:

I meant to add:  HOLY VENTRALS BATMAN.

Did the whole spawn come out with such long ventrals? http://209.85.62.26/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' />

lol, YES! http://209.85.62.26/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' />  These males in this line always have vents longer than their body.  It might be because they are from from traditional plakat lines, which tend to have longer ventrals than HMPKs.  Their bodies are also narrower than HMPKs, with more of an arch around the head region.  I love their look, it's very dramatic.

Wow they are all so pretty.   http://209.85.62.26/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' />
