First, let me say, I have NO INTENTION of breeding! This is just to mroe accuratly enhance my daydreams, and out of curiosity. These bettas will NEVER BE BRED. So if I get a post saying "I don't think you should breed them, if you got them from a petstore. You don't knwo of potential health problems and are probably unprepared..." I shall slap you around with a large trout
So, right now I only have 2 bettas (which there have been enough posts about, you've probably seen them)
My male Viel Tail, Berry:

Please notice his very light coloration (Bo dark blues or teals!) and his slight double tail (V-shape in tail)
Here is my girly, Snazzy Kaczy

Note her PURE white body, absolutly no black specs or anything, and her coloration (again, no dark blues, just bright sky blue, and a pruplish/red color)
Again, just to reinforce, I would never breed these guys, as even though I love them muchly, they are petstore vieltails.
If I WERE to breed them, what are some of the likely outcomes I would get? I know it is VERY hard to say, but easier for a breeder to say, as I know NOTHING about genetics.
How likely is it that some/any of the offspring would have a trace of Berry's double-tail type thing?
Do these 2 have any particularly uncommon traits (as far as vieltails in pet stores go)? I don't think I've ever seen EITHER of their colorations before?
In these 2, which traits are especially recessive, do they have ANY dominant traits? (doesn't look like it to me...)
About what % do you think would be dark?
I think this thread might die, as these questions depend SO much on their background, somethign I do NOT have. But I'm hoping for some educated guesses ^^
