Betta Breeding Hopefuls

[TribeOfShroom]

As britney said in that cr*ppy song "oops I did it again" (sorry very cheesey lol) Well I went into my LFS over the weekend and brought 4 more female bettas to keep my one entertained and happy. So now I have 5 female betta to choose from when I get to breeding. So here they are. (btw these aren't very good pics because I'm still not sure how to get clean, clear pics without using the flash, let alone with a flash... doh!)

LoveJuice (Original fishy):

Fire Fin (new fishy friend):

Tor Fin (new fishy friend):

Yes I know there a bit of dead plant in there, but I took these before I did some maintance

Ruby (new fishy friend):

Steel (new fishy friend):

Sisters hehe:

Anyone like em?? lol

 

[HODDY]

i like them,I like the steel blue one and in the *sisters* photo i like the bottom one with red fins the others are lovely to,They redmind me of my first ever female.

Steel is one of my favs, but I'm hoping either Lovejuice, Steel or Tor fin will be the lucky one who will spawn with my male. Who is of cambodian colouration

 

[TribeOfShroom]

Does anyone have any opinions on which one(s) I should try to breed with a cambodian male ?

 

[kribensis12]

Either Ruby or Tor Fin.

 

[TribeOfShroom]

Either Ruby or Tor Fin.

Strangely enough my gf wants Tor fin to breed as well. I'm guessing you're picking here for the same reasons as I do : her colouration.

Here's a pic of the lucky male. He's in a breeding trap atm because my gf's molly fry need a growing out tank. But as soon as I repair the 2 other breeding tanks he'll be in nice big tank all to himself.

Anyone have any ideas which lucky girls should be matched up with him??

steel or tor fin would be my choice. but to be honest id find another male. all your girls look to be plackats, the male looks to be a veil tail. i have young from this same cross (only it was a pk male and vt girl). the males have turned out a mixed bunch, but all of them have poorly shaped fins and most have poor colours and paterns. one male is stunning but has a mis shaped tail. almost all the girls are pk, but most have dull colours. if your sure you can find homes for them easily, then go for it and best of luck, breeding is fun! but if you intend selling them indaviduly and have a large brood.. you may want to reconsider your choice of male..

i have a beautiful pk marbled girl i bred myself, and i could pair her to one of her brothers with the mis shaped tails but id rather find a well shaped pk male for her!

all the best

All the females are VT's. My LFS will only have VT's and will only order VT's. Shame, I have offered to breed other tail types for them, but they only want VT's. But thanks for the advice. I wouldn't mind breeding some plackats at some point... after my halfmoon ideas hehehe

your girls all look like pks to me... very short anal fins. i find vt girls have an anal fin similar to that of a mature pk male.

all the best anyway

It could be because they are young. My LFS gets females in younger than males. But thankyou very much

 

[TribeOfShroom]

I should really start a poll lol. Oh well! right the votes so far are:

Tor Fin = 3
FireFin = 0
Ruby = 1
Steel = 2
LoveJuice = 1

Anyone else got an opinion to which female I should try and breed with my male??

(the ones in red are my personal favs, but I want to know what you all think, see as this will be to teach me about breeding and they've got to be nice for my LFS)
