Bec Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 (edited) Hi all, This is the latest purchase from aquabid ... I hope he does not change to much before he gets here. Does anyone know what colour girl would make a good match for him? (His mum was a mustard orange and his dad was a black green). He was bred by Ttbetta, whom I have bought several fish from and is a wonderful seller to deal with Bec I have the breeders permission to use the photo Edited October 5, 2010 by Bec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zhong89 Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 He's gorgeous, one of the nicest colourest I have seen (aquabid included)!!! I wouldn't be able to resist too... Maybe a nice yellow female... I don't know any colour female is good for him at this point. I think he's so pretty that some of his genes alone will have pretty spawn!!! Great find :applaud: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 Wow, I can see why you couldn't resist! He is beautiful!!! :drool: Well done finding him Bec! Maybe you could use a mustard yellow girl? Or even a black/green girl. You have a "show case" of females don't you? What do you have with females???

SFF1 Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 He's sure got some crazy colours. I'd breed him with as many different females as you can find. Interesting photo, is there another fish behind him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 Maybe the other fish is in the tank next to him? Yeah, I go with what Mike says: get as many females as possible and try your luck. Hopefully he'll be a good daddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bettarazzi Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 Ask the breeder for a matching black-yellow marble female. That would be the best way of getting more like him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bec Posted October 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 I did ask the breeder for a matching sibling and he informs me that boy was the only one of that colour he produced ... bugger! Looks like he's going to have a harem to pick from I have a few marble girls with blue in them BTW there is another fish behind him, looks like a salamander ... he is yellow / blue / black Bec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bettarazzi Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 I'd stick with non-red girls. Otherwise you'll lose the yellow in the first gen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bewarebrunette Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 Oh he's divine! I have often seen usual colours on aquabid and thought.. if only I had the money! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 Wow, amazing colour! Couple things to be aware of: 1 pairing with a fish that has red will result in red based fry, so you'll lose that yellow. 2 you may also lose black as this is a recessive trait, and depends on what kind of black you've got and pairing him off with. If he's melano you will want to pair him with melano geno female. If he's black then a black female is what you want. I'd prob go with black yellow female to give the best chance of similar fry. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tracey6565 Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 Oh WOW!! What a gorgeous boy I confess I'd be too busy watching him to ever get around to breeding him. Aren't these the most amazingly beautiful fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JUNGLE Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 Very nice,almost like marble and butterfly. Lucky you've got marble females......black and green would be great or something with dragon for the sheen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadoh Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 Sorry Shadoh, I think I'M on the top of the list.

shadoh Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 LOL @ Sarah - I didn't read your comment properly and thought you said you had 8.4 males and was wondering what .4 of a betta would look like :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
