My $1.50 yellow fin betta

Guest

Well I'm not totally sure if you can call him a mustard gas but I think his coloration is unusual for a Walmart special of $1.50. I will add pics later of the females I have for ideas for breeding him. Any suggestions on a female for him appreciated.

hes a chocolate betta, very nice looking boy for a walmart betta lol, he has the most unique coloring that i have seen. i would go for a female close to his coloring if i were u. they might throw something like that. i would even get a show female to see if they will throw nice show kids.

Guest

well actually the color is atlittle off his body it blueish and a pink ting just at the beginning of his fins so he's not chocolate. So the colorations are deep blues pink and red with the yellow in his fins. I have a greenish teal color crowntail female I'm thinking about. I don't know if the teal would lighten the blue or turn it mucky brown.

cool.

My question to you would be why would you cross a VT with a Crowntail?

Subject: Re: My $1.50 yellow fin betta 12/14/2010, 1:41 pm

lol that true, i wouldnt cross them, you want to keep them their own species.

but of course it is ur own decision, but he is gorgeous

Hi whisper She's the one I have on hand that's all. That is why I asked for suggestions. I was thinking color not tail sorry.

she might throw u some cute babies but idk its all bout trials and errors right now, all u can do see wat u get.

Guest

I really don't want babies I can't get rid of. LOL I really need to look up genetics on bettas again. I haven't bred bettas in 30 years so totally out of my area.

Subject: Re: My $1.50 yellow fin betta 12/14/2010, 2:14 pm

then it might be best to keep to tail types or u might be able to trade in the babies.

If you can wait till spring I will have a nice pair of HM's. I have 8 batches growing out. Or you can go ahead with the VT's for now just to experiment and get it right, then get a good pair of HM.

Guest

Oh wow he is a pretty boy!!

Guest

I'll wait till spring and hopefully have the money for a nice pair not into deeper reds or dark blues for some reason.

Too cold to ship at this time in the 30's or below this time of year so I have to wait till spring to get fish shipped. He is a beauty alright! I would die for him.
