Aftermath of breeding

[KansaiBlonde]

So I finally managed to get my bettas to mate! It was a rough ride, but successful. As I type this there are hundreds of fry swimming around the tank - I know not all of them will survive, but I was hoping to get an idea of what they might look like?

Here are the father and mother - what kind of babies do you think I've got? The father was sold as a HM, and the mother wasn't labelled but I am guessing VT?

Ohhhh… well… that's hard unless u truly know the tail types. Did u get them from pet smart/co or Walmart?

Petsmart. I'm pretty sure the male is a HM - that picture doesn't show him spreading out his fins as much as he normally would. The girl... I'm not too sure. Even helping me figure out her true tail type would be beneficial. :)

My best guess 4 the female is a veiltail… can u get a pic of the male spread out?

Sadly not right now. I just took him out of the fry tank today so he's kinda grumpy and depressed at the bottom of his tank right now.

VT? Awesome, it's a start!

Look at the tail tips, WAY different from my vt

Do you have a picture of yours? Are CT/HM offspring as awesome as they sound?

[LebronTheBetta]

Um, how's it a CT? It's a VT, look at its dorsal.Why are you mixing tail types? The fins of the offspring will be a mess! :0

Crap! C, someone (at petco) told me look at the back… I KNEW IT WAS DORSAL!
