How many rays should there be for HM?

by **incognito** on Mon Apr 26, 2010 9:34 am

minimum of 4 rays but can have many more

by **Taelin** on Mon Apr 26, 2010 12:00 pm

I think there are 9. Maybe 10 as it's hard to tell with the torn piece. But I'm also not very good at counting rays either.

If you can count 9 rays, it'll be a 10 ray as its always an even number thumbup

Okay, and on him, the rays would the the irridescent lines in his tail?

If you take a look at this picture, the outer 2 rays of each branch have been outlined. So you would count the 2 outlined and all in between.

Oh goodness! This could be hard. He never stays still long enough to count! And it's hard to see in his the red colour.

Best to get a pic and zoom in thumbup

I"ll have to keep trying. He's just starting to display at Frost. I think I've only seen him do it twice in the last week. Otherwise he just swims around. I think he's still a baby and doesn't quite know what he's doing.

Looks sooooooooo pretty!

by **Taelin** on Mon Apr 26, 2010 5:43 pm

Thanks. I'm pleased with him, too. I"ve determined that the black edge was fin rot as it's starting to get tatty and disappear with new growth behind. We'll see how he looks in a few weeks.
