I’m totally impressed with your dedication to betta fish. When I was raising bettas back in the early 1960’s, we had nowhere near the amount of knowledge or fancy specimens that we have today. I recently have rekindled my interest to start breeding bettas once again, all thanks to you of course!
Back in the early 1960’s I used to raise fancy bettas, but they certainly didn’t compare with what we have today. Do to watching your channel I have decided to get back into this hobby once again. Especially with the advances in genetics and the different colorings that are possible, I can’t get it out of my blood. Thank you for your expertise and knowledge regarding this species!
I went with something I haven’t done before this spawn… I breed a fm red spade tail with a m green mahachai. The fry are now 2.5 months old and there red is only showing on their heads and halfway down fins and the color of my mahachi is starting to come through on the upper portion of their fins and on their bodies
that makes so much sense about the color layers because I have a male Betta that has a black body but then he has a real shiny (metallic) patch on top of it
Thank you for sharing this video ❤❤ I have a question? What is the breeding going to be crowntail with halfmoon ? And if you can make a video about it please 🙏 Thank you ❤
Sure bro. I'm creating videos more on genetics in detail based on how this video performs. Honestly, it needs lot of editing work to explain better. Hope people will like it.
I was so curious about this, color-wise how it turns out. Punnets square and all. I have the cutest little (cambodian?: absence of black, lighter body than fins) double tail making his bubble nest. how do you make sure your filtration doesn’t destroy the bubble nest? And how do you clean the aquarium without messing up his bubble nest?
If you are planning for breeding. Keep the filter off for first 4 days, till frys free swimming. If it’s only male tank, lower the filter water flow, add big plants like Amazon sword or tall ornament to spilt the flow. This will help betta to find, space where low flow rate to build bubbles.
Bro while pairing betta , male betta builds bubble nests. By making many bubble nests,male betta will become stress or not and what if we breed double tail male and nemo candy female ,what tail type will be the results in fries .
Making bubblenest is their natural habit. It’s not gonna stress them much unless it’s get destroyed by waterflow frequently. You will get mor double tails than candy or plakat.
Yes, it’s always the case. Achieving desired color and quality is a real challenge. Asian breeders are so successful because they know it takes time and breed same stain for multiple generations to achieve quality.
I will attempt to answer your question but I'm not a professional. Firstly only melano males are fertile. What this means is you can only get melano offsprings from 2 breeding methods. 1. Melano male x melano geno female. (Higher melano % results ) 2. F1 siblings inbred which has melano father. (25% results) All the results are based on fry survival. Also from my experiences the slower growers were melano over there faster growing siblings. But results can vary depending on stock used. Royal blue is the blending combination of 2 separate colors steel blue and turquoise blue. When breeding royal blue x royal blue you get all 3 colors of blue. Royal, steel and turquoise. Melano black is highly recessive and often crossed with one of the blue types to create melano black. Depending on the color irids on the melano male when breed to royal blue female youll get either some variations of blue types and some multi bicolor. You'll only see black if royal blue female carries recessive melano black. What I've mentioned is based on my experiences and from pure lines. If your stock is from varied genetics your results will be similar and vary as well.
Neon is already there in bettas. It’s called glo bettafish. But their genetics are known for short lifespan and health issues. I have explained in my rare betta fish types video. Check the playlist.
I've seen blue dragon on plakat. One thing I haven't seen is blue galaxy. Blue body and white cover. I notice people are trying to produce blue galaxy, but it looks like all that's been produced have been blue dot dot. Lmk if you guys see one cause that's what I'm looking for in my breeding project.
Does this mean that if my betta has metallic colors, it has all the colors beneath it in its genotype? And if my betta is color yellow, does it mean that the colors above it is not present in its genotype? Thank you..
full Red or Blue bettas doesn’t change color as much once they are fully grown. It’s not same for marble bettas. similarly,if you have frys, you will see their color change till they fully grow as red or blue. It’s natural.
Ideally you must get red frys when both have pure gene. But It’s hard to predict without knowing their recessive trait. But atleast you may get 30-40% of reds frys based on spawn rate.

once crossed a strong flesh color Nemoxy type with a scaly super red double tail, Some of the results are good, but many more are not good

As betta breeding evolve will they be able to genetically modify to make them glow like the neon and tetra does today?

Does this mean that if my betta has metallic colors, it has all the colors beneath it in its genotype? And if my betta is color yellow, does it mean that the colors above it is not present in its genotype? Thank you..
Yes, that’s right. If you breed betta fish and see them grow.. you will able to see their transitions of layers.
@@aquadiaryofficialthat’s cool af
My betta isn’t very aggressive it is a male mustard betta is he compatible with a female betta in a 8 gallon tank with hiding spots?
It’s still risky. Female will get beaten on that size.

What if black crowntail betta is cross breed to white half moon
Crowntails
@@aquadiaryofficial thanks
I breed Dumbo ear (male) X veiltail (female) what is the genetic of fry ?
Dumbo is a recessive gene so the fry will most likely show veiltail
Veiltail will be their dominant trait and dumbo gene as recessive(Ll)
Can i breed vailtail with halfmoon
Yes, Its explained in detail at first video of this series. Please check my playlist to find. Good luck!
@@aquadiaryofficial thanks
i have been having a fish that red color for5 years and it dosent cheng color
full Red or Blue bettas doesn’t change color as much once they are fully grown. It’s not same for marble bettas. similarly,if you have frys, you will see their color change till they fully grow as red or blue. It’s natural.
@@aquadiaryofficial thinks i like yore information
I breed mahachai male and boxer female
Frys look like metalic samurai😂
😂😂😂😂
So how can I achieve pastels?
Cambodians are more of pastel color.
Red male red female fry colours
Ideally you must get red frys when both have pure gene. But It’s hard to predict without knowing their recessive trait. But atleast you may get 30-40% of reds frys based on spawn rate.
@@aquadiaryofficial alright thx 😊 for replying u make really good videos informative love it
Bravo from Romania Dracula land 😂
What is i breed red betta x blue betta
Many will be blue. But based on their recessive carrier. Also you will get some blue on fire which is mixed color.
Thanks
