They are absolutely beautiful! Thats pretty good to have 44 survive to adulthood. Was this your first spawn? Are you going to do more?

Way cool Fla, thanks for sharing! :D

Yes, this was my first attempt at breeding anything; I did a lot of research before I tried it. I do want to do it again, it was a lot of work but VERY rewarding. My fascination with Betta genetics is pretty fierce at this point haha. I need to make room for more fry first, so I am giving away most of them as Christmas gifts (only to those who are responsible enough); I go to a University, so its pretty easy to find good homes for them. I am glad you enjoyed the pics. I think they are beautiful too!

You should be very proud. You did a great job!

Hi,

since I have only posted pictures of our sick Dali I thought it was time to introduce our other betta girl Amelie. I really like her colors and the little cross on her side and the fact, that her fins are ok.

That betta is nice looking... the cross type thing is interesting to! Old injury? Her eyes look sleepy. Makes me smile. Hehe.
