Slightly Blue Dalmation Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 nice mate i like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrienne Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 He's pretty much identical to my new male - a nice fish. I have a 3 day old spawn from my male crossed to a red full ct male so I can't wait to see what the offspring look like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkLB Posted September 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 nice mate i like it Me too. I wasn't sure I'd like the colour until I saw him. He looks great cruising his tank 8) He's pretty much identical to my new male - a nice fish. I have a 3 day old spawn from my male crossed to a red full ct *EDIT* fe-male so I can't wait to see what the offspring look like. I'd like to find a female of the same colour as my male but if I can't I'd put him with a red CT so I'm interested to see what you get with your cross. Please post pics when they're old enough to show their colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrienne Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 will do. Would also have liked a female of the same colouring but imagine that unless someone imports some females there will be no luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1/2waysgood Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 V E R Y cool. 8) Question:- When did the first cts appear? Is it from some sort of genetic mutation which people enjoyed and bred from, or a natural occurance? (Er, just curious..... :roll: ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron-Betta Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 all tail types are originally from plakat type bettas (wildtype) Through selective breeding came longer fins (VT's) then the likes of halfmoons and crowntails were developed. Then through more selective breeding halfmoons developed into deltas and super deltas, then the most common genetic deformity of halfmoons came about - halfmoon Double Tails. Same with the Crowns, through selective breeding, there is now single rays, double rays and Baloog ray or 'King crowns' (i think thats what its called- memory is a bit fuzzy atm) when the rays cross over each other.

MarkLB Posted October 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 Question:- When did the first cts appear? Hi. I have a book here, 'Aquarium Care of Bettas' by David E Boruchowitz which states..."Asian Betta breeders first produced crown tails at the end of the twentieth century"...end quote..... so they're relatively new to the hobby.
