pics of opaque and possible spawn partners

[nibbles]

i got some pics of my opaque in his new tank today...
im not sure which female to breed with him.. im gonna post pics of all my females and maybe some of you can help me pick a female, and maybe tell me what the fry might look like..

HERE WE GO

his tank wearing my hat

now onto closeups of him.. hard to photograph. never stops moving.. couldnt get any good ones but you get the idea.. hes an opaque DT, with big finnage.. has some red wash to him also

now onto pics of his possible partners..

the big bad brown yellow fake MG of death

silver DT

white w/blue marble CT

big shiny greenie

red DT CT

dark blue/purple CT

yellow CT

i also have a red CT female that has been bred few times before, but is still healing from the last spawn..

i also have a turquoise DT, a yellow/red DT, and a big steel blue veil..

any combos and possible fry outcomes would be helpfull, along with personal opinions

I like the marbol

 

[GuppyDude]

breed him with the yellow

Well I would suggest NOT breeding him to a DT, as you don't want to do a DT/DT spawn or you'll have lots of deformed spines.

The silver DT

Also when u mean DT u mean Delta.......?

i was thinking the yellow.. yellows not much of a color, and the opaque coloring might stay.. but i really dont know genetics so i could totally be wrong

linda- yea i know about the DT/DT dillio.. i dont think hes a full blown DT .. when i had pics of him when he was younger he didnt have the DT.. it started showing up as he was growing, its not just a tail split cause hes had it for months and months now

DT = double tail

 

[JoKeR]

So hes a DT he looks like a delta....

I really cant help u there not unless u find a white opaque HMx or HM

So u could get pure clean opaques...

 

[nibbles]

i wouldnt mind some opaques even.. and i dont mind actually even if there is some wash on them..


i just dont want to lose the opaqueness completely

bump ive never bumped up a post of my own before, but im really curious about what everyone thinks i should do

 

[GuppyDude]

i know nuthing about betta genetics, but i wanna c wat kinda fry u would get if u bred him with a yellow. im think the babys will be mostly whit with yellow on thir fins.

 

[Wisperian]

Actually, yellow is a "nothing colour" no matter what you breed him or her with, there will be a very low percent chance that the "yellow" will be in the fry

 

[GuppyDude]

ok now, BL, where did u hear this at? its not that i dont belive u , but i just wanna know who told u this, outa curiosity

 

[Wisperian]

I learned everything well.... 90% of my betta knowledge is from Juliethegr8t she's smart

 

[GuppyDude]

ok, thanx, but still there is that little chance that the yellow will carry and if not they would just end up white, right?

 

[nibbles]

then how did yellow bettas become yellow ?

a mix between what.. white and something else??

ive always been interested in genetics.. i wonder if anyone has a site about them..

bkk has sites for everything .. bbk enlighten us with a site
