Betta Genetics

[JoLtNbolt]

I'm interested in learning more about betta genetics, and finding out which traits are dominant and recessive as far as color and fin type. Can anyone suggest any reading material?

What would happen if I were to mate off a Super Delta with a Crowntail?

You'd probably get less than perfect crowntails.

Here are a few links to some great articles

Here are my personal fave betta genetics sites:

If you scroll down on the second link there's a table of traits and info about the genetics of them
