Just out of curiosity, what kind of bettas would you get if you spawned a female plakat with a long-tail halfmoon male? Would you get some plakats and some long-tail bettas or is one trait dominate? I am not planning on doing this, but I was wondering what they would look like.

It would depend on what the parents of those 2 fish were. if 1 is 100% HM plakat, and the other is 100% HM, you would get all long fins with good spread (close to if not HM) if either, or both had a parent that was a veil tail, that will effect the spread. You may then get some veils too, and will probably not get any that are quite HM.

im pretty sure all long fin but plakat geno. then if you breed those fry with a plakat male, you'd get 50 percent plakats and 50 percent long fin

Yup, all will be long fins with various tail spreads, you will start to get HMPKs in the F2.
