And 23 becomes 30!

[binka_nugget]

Ohhh dear. I did it again.

I found out I'm only about 30 minutes away from one of the most accomplished betta breeders. So naturally, I splurged. I'm very excited about my new additions! There are so many possibilities for new lines now that I have these girls.

I picked up 7 girls. I got:

-2x MG DT (female)
-MG CT (female)
-MG Single Tail (female)
-MG DT (male)
-Multi (?) CT (female)
-Partial masked turqoise CT (female)

And the best part? Not only did I pay (A LOT) less than I would have paid had I ordered through her site, but she also threw in the male for free! Lucky or what?!

Mustard Gas Crowntail Female


Mustard Gas Double Tail Female


Mustard Gas Single Tail Female (who will hopefully be the male's girlfriend very soon! )


Bi? Multi? Crowntail Female




Turqoise Crowntail Female (color's way off in the pics. She's much more turqoise-y than blue)

And the male, a Mustard Gas Double Tail




It looks like he's standing!

OH MY WORD! They are so beautiful! If you had a male that looked like him (assuming you are planning on breeding them), would you be willing to, possibly, let me take him off your hands? (Of course, I would give pay just like any person pays a breeder or whatnot. I just feel weird saying "Hey, would you sell this companion to me") His colours are so strikingly beautiful. The funny thing is, his colours match my graduation colours EXACTLY. (I'll show you pics, if you like.). He is pretty. The DT female stole my heart, too.

I have never been so smitten with a feeshy before.

P.S. Do you have a link for her site?

[binka_nugget]

You're in the US right? If you are, then yep! I'm going to go get a US Wildlife Importing/Exporting license so I'll be able to ship in Canada as well as America. It'll take a couple generations until some double tails start showing up though. I'll get 100% mustard gas in the first spawn but no double tails. If I spawn a double tail with one of the babies from the first spawn, I'll get 50% double tails and 50% single tail with the double tail gene.

Since the breeder conditions her bettas, I added them into the spawn tank right away. He doesn't seem too interested in her so I may have to switch fish and pair up my double tail girl with my super delta male. Same results in the end.. but I'd just rather go with this pair since I know they came from great lines.

Her site is http://bcbetta.com

They are all gorgeous Ashley, but wow! look at that male!

[buttercup132]

Holy that male is just WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Male is just gorgeous and females are adorable. I'm looking for a yellow or a mg girl right now. I am just in love with that single tail you have reserved for the male. Is there a reason you aren't going to breed the double tail girl to him?

[binka_nugget]

Thanks guys I'm just so excited about these new girls. I can start my double tail plakat line, double tail line, crowntail line, crowntail plakat line, double tail crowntail plakat line, double tail crowntail line.. ah.. the possibilities are endless!

Most breeders don't pair up double tail with double tail. It results in 100% double tail fry but a lot of them will have bent spines. I haven't been researching genetics for that long but I *think* the only safe way to get a decent amount of them is to breed a single tail with the double tail gene, to a double tail. It would result in 50% double tail and 50% single tail with double tail gene.. which could again be used to breed to a double tail.

Ohhh, they are truly majestic...
I'm so excited for you and your new family members...

[k9krazee]
