What is the difference between a Fancy Betta Fish, and a Fighter Betta Fish?

If you mean fancy tail and the short tailed variety then the fancy have been human made and bred to be stupidly long and hardly capable of swimming where the short ones are more close to natural shape and are able to swim properly in current etc

Oh ok thanks

 

[DarkEntity]

There is more to it than that, but thats it in a nutshell lol

Not quite human made though, that would be quite a feat

yes they are, the eggs are taken from a female then mixed with specific sperm that was milked from males. they are made in a labratory to produce long fins.

Wow, I do not like that Course I love there pretty fins but I think they should have left them.

have you ever ate catfish from a store? or walleye or northern pike, or trout? they are bred that way then raised in huge ponds to go to market.

That's still not human made is it, it's assited breeding, selective breeding, not man-made.

technecly it is, the eggs are taken out by hand by pressing on the fish, then the sperm from the male same way and made in a test tube. that is not selected breeding that is human made in a labratory.

 

[FBTgirl]

No, I do not eat fish.

Id have to agree with littlest. That would be considered selective breeding.

I dont even know where you got this info from because im pretty sure if not 100% sure there were no laboratories around when they were first bred. Give me some sources where you got this from and i might believe you. Humans are just beginning to modify plants and animals to have different traits. Does that mean humans have made almost no progress within the last 80 years because scientists still have trouble figuring out which genes control which traits? I dont think so. Even if they were made like that, it still wouldnt be considered human made. If a cow is impregnated because a human planted that stuff into it, does that mean that calf is man made?

Edit: Oh yeah, the first longfin betta were imported to the US in 1927. Ive read this in magazines and books, so its probably true.

Fancy bettas are the HMs, HMPKs, CTs, VTs, etc and the fighters are the Fighter Plakads
