Going to start conditioning a pair soon, so I just wanted some feedback as to which two I should spawn. First up are the males; they are both dragons, and their parents can be seen here-- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fPxdqeDix8&feature=related
First Male (Maiconi)
Second (Mumford)
The females
Sibling Female 1
Sibling Female 2
Jocasta (Recovering from a soroity scuffle)
Blue n' red HM
First off, I know that none of these fish are perfect; very few are. I would simply like to know which of my fish would produce the most balanced and nice looking fish. On that note, although it would seem logical just to breed back to one of the sibling girls, part of me really wants to breed to one of the colored girls to satisfy my curiosity of the outcome...Anyway, if you could respond with what two fish you think I should pair, and what I might produce with them that would be fantastic.
My daughter told me this one day when I was debating on which pair to do next, she say me thinking and told me "Hey daddy choosing a pair is like choosing what to wear for a hot date" lol and she's only 8. All I'm trying to say is be creative and have fun with it but make sure you know your bettas very well

Aww, that's certainly anther way of looking at things. I kinda have an itch to pair Mumford and Jocasta. Wonder if Mustard Gas or Dragon would win out in the young..
first what kind of goal your setting on? i think the blue/red female is good because she has a 180 caudal spread, but her colors are very dominant. so i would go with female sibling 1, with male 1
*EDIT* go with jocasta, because from the looks of female sibling 1, i just noticed a scale deformation.
Can you find another male? The sibling female number 1 has scale deformities, and that is hereditary. So if you cross any of your dragons, chances are a good portion of them will have that trait, if not more deformites. I would say leave the dragons and start with your best female you have which is the multicolor, and find her a new male.
Good luck !!
Well, the only LFS that sells decently bred bettas is now closed; and since this is my first shot at breeding, I really would just like to use who I have. I'm not going for show quality bettas right off the bat, maybe in the future though..
The other siblings of my dragons mostly seemed to have uniform scales, and though chances are I'll have some messy scaling, these fry will more than likey just be given away or sold locally. I really love the form on my red and blue girl, and if I paired her with one of the dragons would all the offspring be blue and red wash?
Juglist:
What do you meen by this: Your starting to be like Mr ThaiTy.... Watch it buddy!
I have seen his videos online, and always wandered what, and if, he spawned his bettas correctly, and if he was truly one of the top betta breeders as he claims.
Ok I just read the post by MrV about Thaity guy, wowwy
