Getting a new female betta

Heather's Half moon Red Dragon fry is 3 months old now. A lot of the females were born without ventral fins. So I offered to take one off her hands. She will be bringing me her the next time she comes in town. If she show me pixs I will post em here, of course.
I have decided that I am not getting anymore LFS Veil tail Betta for awhile. I have 3 left so hopefully my boys will last for awhile. I am going to try and get fancy tail types from now on. So the female will be my first Half moon Betta. She has other Betta breeding so I may end up with some more in time.
Here's the parents, so cool looking. Hope the females look like Mom.

 

Awesome Allie!!!I'm so excited for you,Best of luck...post pic's asap

 

Wow!!!!!!! That is an overdose of sheer beauty! Lucky you....I can't wait to see your new finbaby!

 

Mom and Dad are gorgeous, I am sure that Baby will be too!

 

Those are a beautiful pair! I'd love to have the little ones too. That would get me, the little ones without ventrals.

 

I bet they are beautiful babies. Can't wait to see the pics!

 

Geez, once again I have to say, I am soooo jealous!! They look wonderful!

Most breeders would have culled them.
Since I am not breeding betta, I have a space for an imperfect female.
Holly has like 1.5 short ventrals...one of hers is really short.

Heather's Cooper pair bred and she has fry about 3 weeks old now. If she has a male to sell I may find a space for him....or buy him a new one.

 

Yea, that's how we got Kairi.

 

Mom and Dad are a sight to behold! Will you go to Heather's to pick out your new girl, or will Heather select one for you? Either way, I'm sure you'll get a beauty, since Heather has become such a good friend of yours. She sounds like such a kind person from other posts you've written, and giving the ones without ventrals a chance at life is commendable.

 

True. I wonder how many were born without ventral fins - we'd be glad to take in some, if we could.. stupid border & fish laws.

Heather will probably send pix and let me pick. She is one of the good ones in the hobby, that is for sure.

She has 6 females without ventrals, the rest are most likely male. There were 15 fry to begin with...not sure exactly what's left for males or unsexed yet.

 

I love a breeder like her, when we were at the Betta Show the breeders we met didn't seem to mind culling their bettas.
