Another question is cross breeding a Half Moon Betta[Male] X Crowntail[Female] what would i get?

Halfmoon Betta[Male]

No, considering female (splendens) are bubblenesters (or well, the male builds a bubblenest) and pugnax are mouthbrooders. Different breeding techniques.

not sure about he pugnax with the crowntail. i'm pretty sure the hm with the ct will yield combtails with a large caudal spread.

oh juz got an answer from a betta expert on email, he says

"I do not believe that pugnax will cross breed with splendens. A halfmoon to crowntail should give you what they call “halfsun.â€￾

Halfsun has ray extensions but they are much shorter than crowntail. They are good looking fish!" Jim Sonnier.

Halfmoon x crowntail is very hard to predict- the halfmoon trait is probably just as much environmental as genetic. I'd expect a mixed bag of tail spreads with varied amounts of combing.
