I'd say go for the second pair, as you have a male very similar.

Although I'd like to steal the second pair (I won't though ).

 

[lilfishie]

Thanks hun, am leaning more towards them anyway, have blues already

 

[comocrayfish5]

oh they are both very pretty!! i guess if you have a lot of blues the go with the second pair. if i were you i do pick the blue pair

 

[lilfishie]

Having none now Yellow HM & Black DTHM instead oooh and a Butterfly HMPK

 

[comocrayfish5]

i didnt get any of that but congrats

 

[lilfishie]

Got these instead

Imported from Thailand and around the corner from my home

Butterfly Halfmoon Plakat

Yellow Halfmoon

Black Lace Double Tailed Halfmoon

 

[comocrayfish5]

wow nice! you must be a VERY serious breeder if you imported bettas from thailand!

 

[lilfishie]

i didn't import them, i buy them from a local importer

 

[comocrayfish5]

ahh. i see. do they cost a lot?

 

[lilfishie]

not really the butterfly and yellow are £16 the black £19, already have females for them which have been bred by friends, pairs usually end up costing me between £20 & £30

 

[comocrayfish5]

hehe had to use a converter for that. i think that is a lot of money, but i am guessing that you have a lot of success with breeding so you don't have to worry! i would be happy with just one successful spawn. if the female flare at the male is that good or do you try another female? last time i bred, i had a female (the last surviving one!) and she flared at the male.

 

[lilfishie]

females flaring back is debatable, mine did because she wanted to get out of her tub, some show it as interest others aggression, breeding stripes are the give away

some may think they are expensive but over here all you find in shops is Veils so worth it to most breeders

 

[comocrayfish5]

thats what i thought about the flaring. me and my friend were breeding the bettas and she thought it was good and i thought it was bad. do all females get the breeding stripes?

that make sense that you would get pricey bettas. around here you can go to the local pet store and there are.. well hers is a link:
