I disagree with you Liz. The male indeed had some striations. We don't get a very good look at him and I can't decide if I think he is a semi royal wild or a cross. Either way I believe you will get both solid and striated off spring from the pair. A wild royal/semi royal bred with a solid wild will produce both solid and striated. The rarity is getting royals in the mix. I believe the same results would be reached if the male is a wild cross. The pair I got from Kraig at the Show is a solid wild male (1st place wild class) and a big female cobalt looking Wantanabe with striations. I have a batch of about 20 growing out that are now about 2 1/2" and not big enough to see solid or striated yet. Kraig posted a video of the ones he just sold that are starting to show color and pattern and some appear solid with striations around the face like this female and some appear to have striations on the body.
