either they grow fast or those are "time elapsed" so why is he a "giant" plakat? is he significantly bigger than others? youre second female looks like she has a pug nose

My calendar saying that they put in the breeding tank on Jan 23. Jan 25 eggs been laid. I found babies on Jan 27 in the morning. I took the pictures last night. So the father is been in the tank for 9 days since the babies hatched. The babies are eating brine shrimp now since they are bigger. I have an empty 10 gallon tank and I am taking all the babies out and also the the diant plakat too.
I got this Giant plakat at Aquabid and he is bigger than all the males I got. His diet is very different than the other bettas. He eat alot like double meal each day. He still growing big. Can tell the broad body size. Since all my old females (3) are too big for my original halfmoon male, I just pair them up with this giant plakat. I do have intensional what to do with the offspring. See can I convert them to giant halfmoon in the future especially the red halfmoon batch. She got big nice long tail. I have to see how the babies get when they were big. I got still got 24 babies of that batch. They are big and easy to take care now. As you know, i really wants to concentrating the red line now. As for the blue line, I might have a friend to think about as a candidate to takecare of my blueline.
The second red gold halfmoon female do has a different outlook at his mouth. The sibling male are more obvious that look like a real pug. The mouth just like a pug.
I need the breeding tank for a new experiment pair. They are ready to breed. The yellow halfmoon female and red sulthaisine halfmoon male. They both in the banner. I want to see if the out come will have a different red and more clean. I want to get those sparkling out of the red. Lets put a picture of the female.

Good pictures Yeevie

Its amazing to see the size difference between the dad and the babies

Hard to believe they will grow up as big as him in a few months

I am still no sure what sizes they gonna be when the babies fully grown. The eggs are pretty small for the first batch and only have 24 babies. I think it is good to continue to do the F2 series if I plan to continue to do the experiment. I think they might be 50% giant babies. I still don't know how to count as what type of female halfmoon I got. It is perfect size for the giant plakat. Are they 50% halfmoon females? Then are the babies are going to be 75%?
As what I bought the giant plakat, they mention that he is a 100%giant. In the other hand, I heard that giant plakat is supposed to be 7" long? Wou! I get confused.
If i save somemore money for the future, I might as well get a giant red halfmoon from Thailand.
I have been wanting them since last year. Oh yes, I got a 50% geno giant red halfmoon. I want to tried again to pair up both red halfmoon again she she know how to breed now.
Now you guys know why I love breeding. Curious what the surprise outcome and trying to perfect each batch.
