I'd go with either the second or first female...I think the blue female has the most promising tail. I really don't know much about the genetics of these guys though.
I am assuming that these are lfs bought bettas, and you dont know the backgrounds of them. with any of the females you get the chance of every color under the sun, however if you pick the first female a lot of the babies will be red, and the other female I would use is blue female.
if you went with the blue you would prolly have a mix of red, blue, and perhaps a few muddy browns or wild color bettas.

I would go for the pattern. The Cambodians Light body dark fins. I would use the girl with the white body and green fins. The could be a nice mix. Too bad you don't have another Crown tail female to breed to him. I have 2 crown tail females and a crown tail male that has not desire to build a bubble nest. So I don't think I will ever breed him.
Then again I know nothing about what colors make what.
Here is a site with some info on genetics. It could be helpful.

I agree with snowflake I would try the white body blue fins. That way you might get a mix of red and blue and limit the number of muddy colours, Ive heard the white body colour can reduce the number of browns as it is a 'lack of pigment' which can help lighten shades. Of course this could be completely wrong but I think Id try it and see what happens!

i would go with the blue girl, as depending on the background genetics you could have all sorts of colours come out in the fish anyway, and the blue girl being a combtail would give a good chance of get a large proportion of actual crowntails in the fry, rather than just combtails.

to be honest i would go and get a true ct female , a red and pink cambodian as the male is,
not that ur females arnt pretty,, but robin is an expetionaly fantastic male, a 4 ray ct, its kinda of a shame to waste his aswume genetics on regular vt females.......with almost every female the best you can hope for is some cts, must will just be combtails.....
but if you got a red cambo ct female with as many rays as possible, not too hard to find, thats all my wallmart seems to carry these days is 2 ray females.... but that would give u the best chance to get superior ospring and have a better chance of selling the better quality babies,,,, all would prob be ct and maby some extra ray babies would show up lookig like daddy..
not that every beta isnt special but higher quality is easier to move...
just my opinon..

Speaking as one who knows rather less than nothing, are you sure there's no plakat in those girls?
If I remember correctly, (and I often speak through my hat, or a borrowed one, if I've none of my own handy) have read that while modern plakat can help and is often used to to strengthen rays, the old-style plakat produces VT's if crossed with half-moons/super deltas, and might do something dreadful to the spread you're trying for, as would also a VT cross.
Boy, poor you, get something good and even rank amateurs keep sticking their noses in....
It's just he's so special!!!!!!!!
