footycards Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 that white pair is nothing short of amazing. My tanks are full, but otherwise i'd consider buying a similar pair like these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadoh Posted June 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 @ Ness - thanks So many people interested in the whites, perhaps they should be my next spawn. Once the Dragons are jarred, I can move the yellow PK's into the growout tank, then the spawning tank will be free... @ footycards - Maybe you will have the space in a few months down the track when these guys have bred and the fry are ready to re-home...

melbournebetta Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 I wish you could put the white male to the green female and get pastel green.... i'm with you jarrod - this should be as easy as mixing paint! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadoh Posted June 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 Ohhhh... There's a combo I never thought of Those poor whites are going to be worn out by the time I am through with them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spanger Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 I've read that pure white bettas are very rare? Was that a bogus website or are they something a bit more special than usual? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadoh Posted June 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 I wasn't aware that they were rare. It is hard to find a clean pair. They tend to get a red wash as they age and go a pinky colour. This pair are young, so it's a bit too early to tell. At the moment though, they are pure snow white :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fletch Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 I have seen a few pairs, mainly at Jodis. Most are as Shadoh said. Have seen a few clean white pairs including a pair of HM long fin. I almost bought them at the time. Wish I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_95 Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 Jarrod, in one of your pictures the male has pink edges on his cudal, is it actually there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

les Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 Hi Jarrod Thanks for the link like you said its the cleaness of the white that is hard to get are they opaque? as in the pic it looks mat but that could just be my eye sight the girl is a killer she will complement any male I Love the green dragons wether they are the orig or not ther is so much you can do with that couler bandwidth as for the DT hay he is for breeding so if they dont grow back dock them and you wont have any probs in future and you know his pheno just got to waite to prove his geno You Luky Barstool its not only chrismass its ya B day too Good luck and I hope the breeding plans all work out for you Cheers Les Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadoh Posted July 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 Yes, the whites are opaque I'm wondering about the outcome if I cross the white male with the green dragon female... Would love some mint green dragons.,.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
les Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 Hi Jarrod I would think some copper as the are diferent pheno and geno, some Platnum as the opaque is a granular layer of guanine and not crystal and then a miriad of other options it would be realy intresting and if anything realy out standing comes of it its just a matter of fixing the trait God I love you fish collection Cheers Les Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
