a good red line

[A Betta Supply]

Hi All

when you say a good red line are you suggesting the IBC's Class A

Group - Single Coloured Bettas (Section 2 – Chapter 7)(Chapter 7 Class A rev. 71507)

Sub-Group - Single Dark Colour ? (undercoating of black pigment) (what i would say was a good\true red line)

or the

Sub-Group - Single Light Colour ? (CATEGORY— Non-Iridescent - Subcategory—Non-Opaque - TYPE - RED)

Thanks

Warren

Either/Or, but my personal preference is for the more traditional black red rather than the cambodian/blond red

Don't know about Lilli, but I love the dark red! Do you have a good red line Warren?

Red with the black undercoat i have in HM & PK (wanting to extend this to HMPK) i've just put to spawn

Good light-bodied reds should be nearly indistinguishable from good dark-bodied reds. The two classes have been combined for the moment by the IBC.

I haven't had time to read into the IBC colour standards for red. As I don't breed reds, it hasn't seemed necessary and time is limited.

By "a good red line" I mean a red fish without black scale edging, with minimal iridesence, and without the orange caste that is beginning to appear on many auction fish I see.

I am glad to hear that there is no huge disparity in what constitutes a good red fish regardless of base colour from the IBC's point of view.
