I recently bought a nice male fighter on an impulse which wasn't such a bad thing because I've now decided to have a crack at breeding bettas and working with genetics to generate some beauties. It'll give me something to fill my time as I've recently become single.
Here's the beauty that sparked my interest
He was marked as a Halfmoon but after doing my research I've found that he's a Delta. But considering the genes he may carry I'm not fussed. He looks like he's got a bit of butterfly, marble and maybe a touch of dragon.
I've been trying to get a better picture of him flaring under a good light.
Some friends at Petstock offered me some halfmoon females of theirs for free so I have something to start with. They've both got some good tail rays but like the male I have no idea of their genetic background so I'll just have to wait and see what pops out!
The hardest thing I'll have to do is set myself a goal of what I am aiming for as an end result. I'm going on holidays next weekend and want to make a trip to Fishchick Aquatics to maybe get a good male to breed into my line.
There's to many choices damnit!
Enjoy!
