Sorry I haven't been around TFF, at all! My 1 month-old fry are keeping me very busy, and so have all of my new Bettas. I got 2 pairs from Luvmybetta (copper HMPK's & yellow/multi DTPK's), an OHM boy from a Betta club member, a red CT from Synirr, and a multi CT from Petsmart *cringe*. And, I'm setting up a spawning tank for the DTPK's and maybe from the HMPK's. Here are some new pics of all of them!

First, here is Mojo. He is a HMPK from luvmybetta, as is his girlfriend. He is such a show-off, he sticks his face right up against the camera.

Here's his girlfriend, Jett. :/ She wasn't in the flaring mood, but she is a beautiful HM.

Mojo's possible other girlfriend? Shenzi. She's a red/green Plakat with a copper Daddy, so she would produce coppers. (She's from Synirr's first spawn.)

My handsome Fu boy! From Synirr, originally from the albino breeder in Thailand.

This is Guava, I love him to pieces! He was flaring like a mad-man at Mojo.

Here is a couple of Melon, Guava's wifey.

This is Echo, my blue multi boy. The pics do not show, but he has the strangest coloring. In his fins, there are streaks of greenish-yellow, probably from his Mustard Gas Daddy. His Mom is one of my babies from my first spawn. I'm really proud of the 2nd pic, it's one of the best that I've taken of a Betta.

Here's Buddha. I got him from a friend who works at Petsmart, he had severe fin rot that had nearly reached his body. I've had him for a couple months, and he's mostly regrown. My favorite part about his recovery is that he has so much personality now, when I got him he was very lethargic.

/\ blowing bubbles & flaring at Guava
 
I love that mojo, When you do breed him how much do you think you will sell his kids?
 
thanks for the nice comments! ;)

Loko, it mostly depends on the individual. I will probably sell juvies that are the same/better quality of the parents for $10-20. A lot will go to local people that I know, and in my Betta club, and Aquabid. If you are interested, I'll keep a spawn diary and definitely let me know! I forgot to mention, he is a marble Copper.
 
wow those are some nice fish! I love how I can always recognize Synirr's fish for some reason!

I thought it wasn't generally recommended to breed two DT's to eachother? Won't too many of the fry be deformed?

PS that petsmart CT is quite nice too!
 
They are all beauteous!! :D Guava looks better than he did in the picture on the website, I love his coloring, and Melon is sooo adorable!! :wub:
 
Thanks a lot ;)

ezrock, I talked to luvmybetta about that. She didn't notice a higher rate when spawning 2 DT's, it could be the result of repeatedly spawning 2 DT's over & over through generations. I will definitely keep a close eye on any severe bent spines or anything, and cull those right when I see them (which should be around 3-4 weeks).

Lisie, I know! He's such a hunky boy. I actually like the multi. Some people consider it unclean, but I think it's a really cute, unique pattern. I totally prefer being pleasantly surprised by Bettas that look better than in sale pics, rather than the other way around :p hehe.
