Time for attempt number two with this pair. I tried a few weeks ago to breed them and got them to go through the motions, but the male was very inattentive and let the nest dissapate and possibly ate some of the eggs. Hopefully! he acts like a good father this time. I will begin conditioning this week and hopefully have some positive results this time. He is still a young fish so I think that he just hasnt learned yet.

Will post pics of the pair tomorrow night at some point.

Also I will be selling any babies that are suscessful and will be keeping a few for my self. Once they all turn out If any one wants one or two please let me know!
Yeah hopefully it works this time, They both are such pretty fish. My boyfriend thinks I need to breed the male with my other female, who is a royal blue/ice blue/black crowntail. But I'm not sure how that color combination would mix with the white/red male. I originally had the CT female with the CT male that recently passed.
what do yuo think?

Yes she is a veil tail sorry :)
No problem. Here's a video clip of my bettas Cole and Myra.

Guess who came to dinner?

By the way, what are the names of your bettas?

They are pretty!! I want a male that color!

I've stuck with Game of thrones names for all of my fish, its easy to pull names from the story for them :)
The male is Ghost, The CT female is Danerys, and the VT female is Melisandra. Danerys is the friendliest one. Her mate recently passed though. Shes been hiding in the tree stump in the tank for the past few days, Only coming out to eat. He was a very relaxed betta so I could keep them together without worrying he would hurt her. But old age took him the other day :(
Thanks. Cole is a dragon delta with butterfly markings. He got his name because his dark face reminded me of charcoal. So sorry, Danerys lost her mate, sounds like she might be grieving. Myra did that when my halfmoon, Theo passed away from a relapse of fin rot. She ignored Cole for a while but now she loves him. They both have mild temperaments and hardly flare. I'm hoping their fry have some nice colors and markings.
I think she is, I may get her another mate in the future. For now I'm focusing on the other pair, and getting the situation in my 20gallon sorted out. Thats where I have danerys. THe new filter and stuff came in today so I'll be doing maintence tomorrow hopefully :)
Hope it works out. Maybe getting her another mate will help, once's she's recovered. It took my female Myra a month before she came around.
Hopefully :)
Agreed. Any particular colors or markings you're hoping to get out of this spawn?

I'd love to have some marbles since Cole has butterfly markings which is a variation of marble. Myra is a standard turquiose but she did have some sisters with cambodian markings and one that was solid blue, so she probably came from a mixed spawn.
I'm hoping to maybe get some butterfly markings on some and then the cambodian on others. and wahtever else I get. I really want the butterflys though
That'd be nice. I love butterfly bettas.
me too, and with his colors they would be so pretty!
I'll keep an eye out for photos. He sounds like a handsome fish. I have a spawn log on the site, it's under family matters. Oh, found a video on youtube of a Halfmoon/Veiltail mix.

Parents were a black halfmoon and Mustard Gas veiltail
