Nice female betta!! She’s definitely a marble nemo Halfmoon Plakat.

I personally wouldn’t put a sponge filter in the breeding tank unless it’s for beneficial bacteria purposes as it’s not necessary. Other than that, it looks like you’ve done your homework!

Wow he is really such a gorgeous boy! Can I have him back? Jk Lol! He will turn one year old in March! I’m surprised you haven’t thought about breeding him.

This pair was a success but the male had eaten the eggs. I will be trying out a different male o_O

The male had built a nest yesterday and I released the female to be with him. I checked back in today and he built even a bigger nest! At this point it’s just a waiting game for the male. The female seems to be impressed with his nest and bows down on him but for some reason he thinks he needs a...

I have just put the pair in the tank together but the female is still in the cup. I’ll see tomorrow if the male had built a nest by then and if he did, the female will be with him

Breeding siblings would be inbreeding and causes health problems which I am oppose to. Line breeding is crossed between two unrelated bettas that’s the same strain.

You don’t want to mix tail types. The offsprings are going to be like not full Halfmoon like the male or shorter tail like the female. Some will have a longer analfin but shorter caudal fin.

I didn’t think I would be breeding another pair this early of the year. I had been looking for a pair to breed this year and I had found them earlier than I wanted. I’ve been conditioning the pair for about 2 weeks now. the male have been blowing a nest everyday and the female is also carrying a...

Definitely a female but why would you cross an hmpk and a Halfmoon? You’ll get a weird tail type offsprings.

The tumor is very common On the galaxy line or the strains that has a lot of white scales. For example, the blue marble dragon, white fccp etc. they usually start showing up as they matured. That’s just genetics problem. Also that’s a beefy male that you are keeping! Lol

He won’t. He’ll likely keep that pattern. Omg yes! He’s so cool! He definitely more like the mother of the spawn. I’m glad to see some of the babies that I had raised is doing good. I’ll be trying to spawn another pair very soon and I’ll make sure to make a journal of it! Thanks for the update!

Yes he definitely does. He’s pretty much an adult fish now. He will slightly gain more white specs or Black spots. He won’t drastically change his pattern.

Very pretty nemo galaxy. It’s very similar to the offspring of my recent spawn! side note: he’s likely not to get any bigger but will either turn darker or develop more white specs or galaxy as he gets older. He’s likely a 7 month old fishy.

Them Asian breeders came up with that. They came up with that term or name for a fancy cooper. I’ve also heard of an AOC which is basically “All other color”.
