Out of curiosity - when it comes to breeding bettas - can you predict the colours of the fry depending on the colours of the "parents" ? I think what i am trying to say is - if you want more beautiful red ones like him - do you have to pair him with a certain colour female to have better chances of having that result.
Yes i know i sound like an idiot..... :duh:

Oh and great pictures and interesting idea. I cant wait to see more.

Completely differet pair...I had two set ups ;)
Hedging one's bets is always the best course of action. Wonderful pics. I feel bad for the first guy though, he really had the crap kicked out of him. oh well, maybe next time for him.
 
Yeah, poor fella, he got it so bad he looks like a girl now ! His poor fins will probably never be the same...

One thing to consider when deciding to breed your male betta just for fun.....if he's got gorgeous fins...he may no longer after the process....
 
Hi MQ
This was fun to read
very well done (thanks) :thm:
 
Awww man. I wanted to see baby betta's!! lol. I really think this is fascinating. How long will it take to condition them up again? You have done an awesome job with the pictures. I can't wait to see the continuing saga of betta breeding....."As the Spawn Turns"
Thank you so much for sharing with us.
 
I agree with Harlock..betta peep show...
Very interesting. Do you have any other colors? On my desk at work I have a nice red male betta.
