How are you doing with those guys in shows? Are you showing the male as a round tail?

hi i have not yet shown them but the male took 2nd in its class last year at the BLA show with its previous owner, i am currently raising a couple of hundred fry to pick the best for future breeding and shows and yes i believe it was in the round tail category
thanks

Very nice fish, I'll be at the BLA show in Nottingham as I'm on the committee of the BLA.

Who ever told you they came second was telling a little fib I think. The highest panda was in 9th place, and was breed by Francesco Tumino who shipped the fish over from Italy. They was then sold on but I donr know who got them.

Panda's are quite a rare colour genetically, the base colour is classed as Pink but sadly the black covers this colour in panda's. However if you compare the female to other shop fish yout see it's very different from the usual grey and blonds.

Good to see your breeding them but you need to do a little work to get good result's if you show them.
Firstly keep males and females separate when rearing them, so remove any male's as the start to show.

Your tails are ok, but try to breed from any male showing more of a pompom shaped tail, as it's slightly more in-between a coffer tail and round tail so would lose several points on the tail alone.
You also want to black to sopt clearly 4-5mm before the pectoral fins so the blank finnage stands out clearer.



Here are the top 3 fish of every class at the BLA show if your interested.

hmmm thats interesting to know it would certainly seem that i have been told a pork pie. do you have a link or something you could post so that i could see what standards i need to reach so that i can consider showing them with a chance of doing well
thanks for your input
