Betta Genetics Example: Black HMPK x Blue HMPK

[KadenJames]

I put together a small diagram showing an example of line breeding. The goal is a blue-based superblack halfmoon plakat, starting with a black male from a solid line, and a blue female from a solid line. Once you breed the two, you have a spawn that are 100% blue with the black genotype, and once you breed the best female F1 back to her father, you should get around 50% black and 50% blue with black genotype. Hope this makes sense for everyone!!

I love this. I wish one could be done for every color.

Can we get this stickied as a line breeding guide? It's so helpful and shows the punnet square well.

This is great, thanks for the info. This is what I meant when I asked breeders to post their spawn results on my thread.

I'd have to ask the team whether this should be a sticky of it's own or joined to my thread (if you'd allow that)

[KadenJames]

Whichever is best for you guys. I'll probably be making more in the near future.

I'm looking forward to ALL of your color-mix input. Thank you for sharing them.

Punnet square
Haven't seen that for awhile
It only work if you know the background of the Bloodline(family tree) of the breeding pair
If your just basing on the information on how the fish look like
Sometime the pair will throw u an odd ball color fish that u didn't expect
