The fish still looks young, its colours may not of fully 
developed yet... however, if he keeps this broken stripe 
pattern I wouldn't use him for breeding. But I DON'T say 
kill him! Rather take him and his suplus brothers down 
to the LLFS (local live fish store). If he is lucky some 
one who has a hood on his tank will buy him.
While their are serious ethical problems selling 
deformed fish at the LLFS, I see nothing wrong with 
selling a slightly substandard (given our high 
standards...) if it might draw in another killi keepers. 
In any case, the odds are this little guy is iether 
going to get culled or end up on the carpet somewhere... 
or just maybe he might make it in some one's tank and 
that some one may might decide to try and get a few 
females.
