Thanks to all of your comments .... I'm now breeding him with his sister and hopefully the babies will turn out nice...

Hey Cracker how do you designate whether it is a Salamander is it the colour combo or the fact that you can pick out each scale on the body ?

Well, honestly when I got these colors I don't know what they are lol then some Thai friends I have calls them Yellow Salamander or Yellow MG.

I know this may be a daft question and i'm not arsey about it, jsut curious, but how do the offspring turn out when the mum and dad are brother and sister? Obviously they would be 'in-bred' but is that bad or good in the fish world?

Quote from bettatalk.com:

Many beginners also have the misconception that one should not breed a brother or sister together because you would get inbred fry.

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!

Hum. (sorry) I couldn't help but laughing my head off. OK you guys, let me set the records straight here once and for all. Breeding brother to sister is not only OK, but it is also desirable and most often absolutely necessary to get any kind of decent results. You can cross brother to sisters up to 6 generations without ill effect. Remember, they are fish, not people!!! . Anytime you outcross two different strains, you will usually suffer a major set back both in finnage and color purity and often lose the traits of the parents in the process. Although outcrossing is necessary now and then, you should only do it when absolutely necessary and otherwise it should be avoided, unless the breeder is trying to 'inject' additional traits into his/her line.

Sometimes it's bad to breed the Bro and the Sis because they double the fault. That's why we need to do selective breeding.
