Lovely babes Good work!!

If I breed the sibling, I hope to get doubletail in F2. That is my guess. Any clue?

You should get DT in the F2, yes
If I've got my facts straight, if you breed DT geno with DT geno you should get 25% DT, and DT geno with pure DT will give you 50% DT

BTW, I thought melano females were sterile?

Wou. If both doubletail parent breed will yield 100% doubletail, right? LOL Maybe 75% I guess. LOL I got a pair of both red doubletail butterfly coming from thailand that breed from boontiang. We will see how many doubletail if breed successfully.
Yeah, I heard that too about melano female is sterile. I don't know is she really sterile since she is not from straight melano parent. Maybe tried it and see since I love to do experiment. It will be very interesting if she breed.

Yep, DT with DT gives you 100% DT

I've heard of a breeder who had a fertile melano female, so you might get really lucky, who knows! My guess is she's sterile, though... it's worth a try!

Amazing variations there Yeevie!

They are fantastic but then the parents are fantastic to start off with

Thanks Joby and others too!
I do think the melano female will breed too since the father is not a melano and the mother just carried melano geno. If the parent both are melano and been breed quite a few generations, then it has a possibility unfertile.
I can see quite a lot of recession melano female in the batch and also steel blue/green color one.
As for the second batch, they look pretty equal and the tail are different since the mother is a doubletail. I will breed again to make F2 to get more doubletail back to the plate. I really love the doubletail female with long fins.
I really excited about this.
Oh, I do have the giant plakat cross with red halfmoon too. They look different too. Another new cross is red chillies halfmoon male cross with Wasan's copper crowntail! They have 40 babies.

They have the second batch where the mother is a doubletail royalblue. She is in my banner. Anyway, none of the babies are doubletail. I think they do have doubletail geno. If I breed the sibling, I hope to get doubletail in F2. That is my guess. Any clue?

Hi,
When you breed a ST, and A DT, all of the babies will carry dt. Breeding any 2 of those babies would give you 25% DT. 50% would have the Dt Geno. The other 25% would be ST. The only problem is that the only way to tell which of those 75% ST's carry the Dt, is to breed them with DT's.
You may want to think about picking a nice male from that spawn (the one you have now, with the DT mom) and breed him with mom. Since she is a DT, and he carries the DT gene, you will get: 50% DT's, and the other 50% will carry the DT geno. That way there is no guessing, and you get more DT's

Your babies are beautiful. I love that gold one. He/she really stands out from the crowd.

Sorry, I posted, then noticed there was another page. Sorry for the double info.

I did see that you were also asking about DT to DT. Yes, that would give you 100% Dt. But I have read that the problem with this is there is a great chance for deformed fry. That is reduced by using NON SIB DT's. Don't know if it is true haven't tried either.

Gorgeous Bettas Yeevia!

The mother and father are absolutely stunning!

Thanks for the information ManyFISH4Me. Actually the doubletail royalblue mom is already sold and I can't do that experiment now to get more doubletail. So I have to pick a few and breed it.
I do heard that breeding doubletail to doubletail will create some deformation tail too and some don't. So I just bite my lips to breed the two new doubletail red butterfly pair that is coming from boontiang, Thailand. He told me they will be fine to breed. LOL
Thanks Annastasia.
