things didnt work out trying to breed my CT male, he is just too aggressive and wont build a decent nest. so ive changed the plan completely, and doing things a bit differtly. ive put a divider in my breeding tank and have my pk male in one side and i just introduced my marble vt female on the other side. i would like to produce a few pks with the marble markings. they both seem very keen, her more so. had he already built a nest i would have been tempted to let her into his side, but he only went in yesterday and hasnt built a nest yet. probobly a good thing at this stage. im going to leave them a week or two to get aquainted.

heres a pic of the prospective pair. she has a bit of a raggid anal fin in the pic as she got beat up by another girl in the bag on the way home from the shop. its healed up nicely, shes grown a fair bit since too, and has a nice round tummy :)

so what am i likely to get?

Let us know what happens, I'd love to see pics of the fry when you have!

I'm sure with her being eggie, he'll come round soon and build a huge BN for his prospective children.
 
Not sure about the colouring but if I remember right

Pk x Vt = VTs with PK genes

and for F2 you take one of those girlies and spawn them with dad and you'll get 50% Pks and 50% Vts,

but don't take my word for it. I haven't had bettas for the longest time and I've forgotten so much :crazy:

That's right. :) I'd just get a plakat girl for the male, honestly. Makes it easier rather than going the long way around and ending up with a bunch of VTs to find homes for...
