BlueMoon Posted March 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 my pinky was unsuccessful, going to up his conditioning, how many times do you feed your breeding fighters? At the moment my guy is getting bloodworms and brineshrimp 3 x a day? does he need more? Mr blue and red was successful I think, so will wait and see if anything hatches will keep everyone updated!!

Aaron-Betta Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 I would usually only feed twice a day, too much rich food can lead to dropsy i hear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheesejawa Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 No offence but those are very beutiful, very different bettas and their offspring will be hidious. Beutiful on their own but ugly together. It is not advised to breed together tail types. I think those will make 'interesting' babies but we will see.

Aaron-Betta Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 can i just ask where that theory comes from Cheesejawa? CT +CT = CT, CT+ VT= mixture of half this and thats. Most betta breeders want to keep strains pure by sticking to one fin type together like pairing crowntail m's and f's together so the offspring will mostly be crowntail, taking the best crowning and carrying on the strain forever trying to improve it rather than mix it all up. Put it to you like this: (figures pulled out of my head) Pure CT male show quality= $60 per fish Pure CT female show quality= $30 per fish Those two pair up and you raise 40 of the best fry resulting in pure CT's similar to the parents, worth the equal of the parents $30-$60 per fish depending on sex Pure CT male show quality= $60 per fish Pure Halfmoon female show quality = $30 per fish These two pair up and will result in hm's with a comb edge, or "bitsa" bettas (bitta this, bitta that) raising 40 of these fry would result in fish with mixed strains, that will take a lot of selective breeding to breed pure strain from their offspring and resulting fish wouldn't be worth as much as pure strains. Also the different fin varieties look a lot better when they are pure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know what you're talking about??? :evil: :evil: :evil: Are you trying to tell people to cross breed different strain so they can produce all sorts of RUBBISH? ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueMoon Posted March 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 I will never cross breed these fighters, that is mad, it has taken people along time to get them as pure and nice as they are, why would I want to cross and as Ron said, produce rubbish that people don't want???

Cheesejawa Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 oh sorry, I was confused thinking you are breeding those 2 bettas together, my mistake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
