Sample of OHM female

Well, the picture isn't really showing OHM, but you can see that she doesn't spread to the max as yet ;)

OHM female

She's carrying rosetail by the look of it. They were a couple of rosetails OHM in the spawn (5?) but this female is the only one standing up of the rest. For start, she has longer-than-usual finnage. FYI, most rosetail females have shorter finnage, despite they may be full HM lineage. This female has full HM long fin finnage, so that's a good news, sort of....

Furthermore, this female is very nice since she can close/collapse that caudal (well, all of the rosetails on this lot can collapse their tail). We shall see what will be her match, but it seems she wont be mating another rosetails ;)

Colour-wise, this female isn't so attractive. She is either a blue orchid or just merely blue lace. Eitherway, it isn't so interesting aspect of her. Scale misalignment doesn't seem to be too extreme on her, which may explain why she looks more "normal" for a rosetail. Did we mention that she's either a 16 rays or 32 rays branching? The branching is so thinly spaced that we lost count on it, not even after we zoomed on the picture (wished we took fine quality pics).

Her sibling brother, a rosetail long fin OHM, had just died, injury due to fighting. Increasingly we've got more fish fighting these days, they just love to do some jumpings. Can't be avoided really, there are so many containers stacked and not enough lids around.

The plan is to have this female crossed back to her half sibling. Particularly to the "lame" SD giant boy that we had :) Hope they will improve the line. This matching should produce some giants but we'll see.....
