This is just a little pictural journal of my babies so far. Please note my picture taking skills & camera quality are seriously lacking, but i'll try my best.

After lots of research, I spawned two of my bettas last year, here is dad with is nest a very beautiful cellophane, marbled Superdelta:

& here is mum, a little rose coloured superdelta: looking a little rough afterwards bless her

They gave us a really impressive bubble nest full of eggs & little babies:

We started off with well over 100 fry, but this first batch has been a very steep learning curve for me & 4mths on we are left with around 30 young betta
 
We originally thought that most of the babies had mummy colouring, we were hoping for a marble with red, but so far no luck.

Here is a pic of them when they had just started to colour up:

as you can see, a lovely red colour, well over the last week or so, i've noticed his colour changing, at first I thought he was sick, but no he had just decided that red wasnt his colour, here he is today, my beautiful little cellophane male

i'm loving watching him develop, he is stunning in real life & seems to grow a bitmore every day
 
this is another of my favorites, i've not seen many betta's with a green like this, i'm hoping the colour stays:

One thing I have learned in these months is to take more pictures lol, so next spawning will be more picture heavy.

My next pair are on their second week of conditioning, so hopefully I will have another journal soon
 
Just managed to get some much better pictures of my little guy, including a very cute one of him flaring at the largest red male

please note, he isnt spotty, its just the bubbles which are caught against the glass after I popped the traps in for photo opp!
 
Being your betta changed color doesn't that mean he is marble? Nice looking bettas!

I rescued an older betta fry from a pet store and was shocked how he/she has changed! Still not sure if it's a long finned female or young male yet. http://www.fishforums.net/index.php?/topic/320338-smallest-betta-i-have-ever-seen-and-purchased-with-pictures/
 
Changing colour does normally mean marbled. Great job thoughm them males look awesome!! How are the females looking?

how old are they?
 
Thank you :good: I will try to get more pictures of the females, but because they are in a tank together, its not so easy.
