Mystical Metal

Metal is one of my favourite strains. I learned from a very experience local Guppy hobbyists that people who love the half metal strains usually welcome some element of mystic and suspense in their lives. The picture in this blog post shows one of the Metal King Cobra that I attempted to cross with the Red Lace to make the Metal Red Lace.

The "metallic" portion on the first half of the body of a half metal is very interesting: it can vary in accordance with lighting and the fish's mood. In individuals with darker colour of black and bluish tone, it really complement the colour of the fish very well and brings about an air of mystic in the fish.
