With my interest on these beautiful Plakats on the increase, I could not contain myself not to acquire another most beautiful pair. The male is a Copper Red Dragon HMPK and the female is a Copper Dragon HMPK. The parents are a pair bred by a reputable Plakat farm namely Aquastar 71 in Thailand. Father is Black Copper Yellow HMPK and mother is a Copper Yellow PK. Quite obviously at this stage, after some conditioning, the pair will be bred, hence this new spawn log  Some photos: Parents of my pair - Father
Mother
My male - Male Copper Red Dragon HMPK 
Photos of the female will follow soon.

Thanks Foxy & king ! This pair will be very interesting to work with, since there is even the short finned PK in the lineage which is the closest Plakat to the original wild form specie.

Thanks king. Yes female is plump indeed. She will be soon introduced in the spawning tank where the male has already claimed his territory. Updates later on this week.

He he thanks gabs :)Female is truly beautiful, the typical dragon robust female and she is plump too! Pair need to be a good couple and be nice parents to the fry so that there will be the availability of a pair. I'm sure that a pair from F1 of this spawn will give some brilliant results with regards to quality. The parents are of both exceptional quality, and their parents as well. The mother of my pair had a nice broad dorsal...maybe this too could be achieved. We will see! I will keep updating for the plakat affecionado's delight :)
