So I have a female betta that I am about 99% sure is a HMPK. But in the off chance that it is a long tailed HM, what will my offspring be if it crosses with a male HMPK?
Has anyone ever crossed these two before? (by accident or on purpose)
HMPK's were originally created due to people outcrossing PK's into their HM lines to get more solid form, fin shape and general hardiness. i'm guessing you'd get mostly HMPK's but i could be wrong.
Theoretically long fins are dominant over short fin. But your actual outcome depends on their background. So youo will get long fins, in between fins and short fins. Percentage of Long fins should be bigger, but again, depends on background.
Usually the inbetweeners are short finned fish with kind of longer fins. So Im guessing they would pop up if both are pk carriers. They are pretty rare though. My fish came from a pk x hm(pk geno) all were either full pk or full long fin. no inbetweeners
If anyone else has experience with this cross please do post what the offspring percentages were (with respect to regular HM and HMPK babies).
