Thanks! Both female and male have the same marble pattern. The parents are siblings.


You can see the female in this video. It is a V part series if you want to watch the fry grow. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqE6Nz3zbIA&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL

She can also be seen here.

Most of her female offspring are looking very nice, too. Maybe better, too? One of her daughters is getting the same pattern. I could also do a sibling cross. Decisions decisions!:lol: I know my purebreed ragdoll kitty was developed by crossing a mother to a son. So, why not do this with fish?

Cross mother and son? o_O

Isn't that inbreeding? Can't that cause defects in the spawn?

Nope. As long as inbreeding is not too overboard it's fine. I usually breed brother to sister unless the parents have super nice fins then I cross back.

Wow the son does look better because if you look at the caudal its a better curve and i like the son's marble pattern better as well.

i think its because of the next generation. How does it feel to know that you have perfected the HM gene.

i love to watch bettas spawn tooo
