i thought that the cambodians were the ones in the backround with the red fins?

but they were from the same spawn.

The 2nd shot looks of a female "dalmation"

The red tails at the back are cambodian, the first pic is a cambodian type girl, not full cambo has the tail has to be one solid colour with a pale body to be true cambo. Not sure if she's butterfly - she might have the gene but she's not a true butterfly IMO

The other girl as said earlier is a dalmation / spotted / spotted marble depending which classification you go on!

thanks!

so the 2nd pic is a dalmation marble? she never changes? do all marles change?

 

[Amerce]

My male didn't sometimes the colouration gets a bit deeper or the splodges spread a little but otherwise no.

Well she is most likely Dalmatian but some people call Dalmatians spotted marble. She probably wont change where as some marbles have the ability to change this is something Modaz explained to me as some marbles with a red loss gene can change colour or appearance as that gene isn't static on the helix , it moves and blocks other alleles causing variations in colour. As well as this young developing marble bettas will appear to change as their patches of colour come through
However as said I expect you have a Dalmatian so most likely she wont change

is dalmation good?

is the other one good too?

 

[wilsonnw8]

what do you mean by good?

 

[love4aquatic]

what do you mean by good?

is it a color that is wanted ?

and usually not ignored? idk, like a HM is good compared to a VT

To be honest its subjective yeah most people want HMs over VTs but loads of people love VT's Dalmatian is more unusual than your solid colour and lots of people like it, but I think the gene is recessive. Whats "desirable " changes all the time recently from white to black to orange.
but dalmatian is certainly more unusual to find in the LFS than a plain red for example

okay thanks!

do you have a link to a site that says what is recessive and dominant in bettas?

 

[love4aquatic]

would this male from bettysplendens website be like my girls?

 

[modaz]

as said the ones with red fins are cambodian, a gene that is highly dominent and also has a good potential of producing marbles . the girl that isnt cambodian is simply a wash with very slight marblng to her body (the black) she does seem to carry the BF gene but she also has what is called the Polka Dot. this is where you get spot patches of colour on pale dominent colours,white or celophane. The male in bettys shows the polka dot patches but i would like to see more on him though to be seen as a nice polka dot.
