So this is my first aquabid buy and I am too excited, not only am I getting one of my dream fish I got a pretty little female for him in the anticipation of a future spawn ^-^ Both of them are from the breeder Blimp33.
So here they are!

Orange Dalmatian Half Moon! In the listing it says he's an OHM, in the photos provided I really don't see it, in saying that though this is my first half moon betta, so OHM or not I'm crazy happy regardless!! I love the fact that his beard has the red spots too.


This is the female I chose with him, I was told getting a couple of bettas would make importing worth it a little more (money wise), so I picked a nice intense orange HM Female.


I am so excited, I absolutely cannot wait until they're here! The transhipper said they'd arrive on April 9th! This will be the longest four days ever! I just want them here ^-^.

Awesome! I love dalmations, always very beautiful fish.

You spawning these guys?

 

[Islandgaliam]

Gorgeous!

 

[TruongLN]

I've always wanted one, and since my dalmatian plakat lasted a couple of days I needed to get my hands on another.
I do plan on breeding them, but not until the winter because I'm going on vacation late July. ANY tips you have for me though, Matt, I'm all ears! In fact I would love any tips and tricks you have.

 

[TruongLN]

Gorgeous!

Thank you! I'm impatiently waiting! I just want them now hehe.

I like them both but the female is a real beauty.

I love that male! I considered ordering him, but I figured the hubby would lose it if I did! Can't wait to see pics of him when you get him!

 

[TruongLN]

Thanks CJ! Maybe if I'm able to breed and get the majority of them to survive I'll give you an orange girl . Hopefully they'll look just as great as mum.

 

[TruongLN]

I know what you mean Asteig haha. I had to beg my boyfriend for him. It actually wasn't that hard...but I still had to! I definitely will be posting a ton of photos when they get here! I'm so nervous.

 

[Asteig86]

Maybe if I start begging right now, by the time you have spawn he will let me buy one off of you! Lol! Can't wait for updates, I'll be crossing my fingers for you that they have safe an healthy travels

 

[TruongLN]

Thank you so much Asteig! Just a couple of more days!

Yeah! Im excited to get my 3 as well and no im not planning on breeding!

 

[TruongLN]

The new boys you're getting are phenomenal looking, too great!
I hope you change your mind because your fish are beautiful.

good idea getting a solid orange female, i hear dalmatians need to be crossed with oranges to continue the line.

I had read that somewhere too, I read with either oranges or reds, I'm pretty happy with them. even though I'll eventually breed them I'm not too worried on form, my main concern is keeping the fry alive. However if you know if their form is good I'd like to know

At my first glance, both seem to be on the stocky side, which isn't a bad thing as the fish will need a strong body to uphold all that finnage.
In terms of keeping the fry alive, have your cultures up and running to support 3-4 feeding a throughout the day. Be careful not to over feed and keep the water clean.
