Betta Genetics

[dszoo]

I was curious if someone could point me in the right direction. I'm looking for a list of what's recessive and what's dominant in betta specific genetics (e.g color/tail types).

I've seen bits and pieces here and there but I was wandering if someone knew of a compiled list somewhere?

Thanks!

Betta genetics are very involved. There are stickies at the top of this section that do their best to make it easier to understand, but as I said, the genetics are very involved. Usually it takes several layers to create each color unless the betta is a cellophane.

Thanks for the response that's what I was starting to think. I assuming there are certain traits that bred true?

Long tail is dominant over short tail, red is very dominant. That is what I can think of off the top of my head.
