Spawn Log- Mars X Mai

[youlovegnats]

Since I now have fry, I thought I'd start one. :)

Mars and Mai spawned on Sunday and the fry hatched on Tuesday.
They're currently 4 days old! :D

what tail type is Mai.

[youlovegnats]

she's a VT :/

[mernincrazy8525]

what tail types do you expect to get?

[youlovegnats]

Mostly VT I assume. This is my first time breeding so I honestly have no clue. haha.

Congrats on the spawn~ how are the fry doing?
crowntails mixed with veiltails will give you combtails. First generations typically don't look too nice, more like veiltails with messy jagged edges.

awww, well that's all good. :) I've always wanted to try my hand at making my own line- and now I can! :D If I bred the siblings together, what do you think I would end up with?
Thanks!!!
The fry are doing well! I'm leaving dad in there with 'em though until they get to be free-swimming (which should be any day now.).

:D

If you selectively breed based on the best looking fins, you might eventually get nice looking comb tails with nice fins and rays or you could breed back to crowntails or veiltails.

Are you sure they're not free swimming by now? Typically bettas are free swimming by 4 or so days.
