Today I learned that if I breed my two red dragons where they both have the double tail in their genes and the humpy dorsal.
That the humpy dorsal on the babies could be worse and cause genetic issues. I am not a fan of the double tail hump anyways so it'd be cool if I could get some fry without it. I was wondering about that...and glad someone on a betta site pointed that out. I would be so upset if my betta fry came out deformed. I bet it's why some of the females in my pair batch had no or one ventral fins.
So I have decided to look for some other HMs to breed with my dragons.
So now I am on a search for more betta to work with.

Allie, if you don't find anything before I get some fry out of my red dragon hmpk's I'd be able to lend you one of my pair. The male I specifically chose for his form to be able to breed into hm's (he's not a symmetrical pk, but not too far off... the symmetricals just look wrong to me for some reason, no clue why!), and both of them have nice straight backs, so should be compatible with your guys! They're next up to spawn, since mr. melano ate his young and the rest of the eggs failed to hatch... if you're interested. I just want to be sure I get some babies out of em before sending them anywhere in case anything untoward happens lol.

I will let you know, thanks Jen.
BUT I am having fun searching for some newbies to get...I have til November to choose AB betta or see what other Canadian breeders have.

Thanks Shawnie.
