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.
