Well I`ve been thinking about it with my spare time and I decided not to breed them just yet.I wanna thank YB and all the others who were very encouraging though!I guess cus I have a lot of stuff to do right now.And I need to think about the homes and all.I saw a crowntail for sale at Petland b4,maybe I`ll get that and breed. :p
 
I think you've made the right decision. If you're not 100% sure you're prepared, just wait a bit. You can always breed later, as you said. :thumbs:
 
Good to see that you could take all the comments people made on this subject with good grace. I do hope that you will be able one day to have the time and bettas to breed succesfully :)

Yeah I hope so too.Most of all that the one crowntail is still at Petland :shifty:
 
Good on you,SMS :thumbs: In the meantime maybe you can help out a homeless betta or two ,any fish would be lucky to be with you.
 
Yep,I`m thinking maybe I`ll buy some bettas next visit to LPS if I get more money soon,I really hope that crowntail is still there.
 
Petland got crowntail now? Wou. Never know that. What state are you at? Is petland in all the states has the same chain? Are they selling expensive? :look: If you getting crowntail male, then I have few big belly Tsunamis female for you. They are cross breed from halfmoon male and crowntail female. :) They have 4 rays too. :)
 
Probably best to breed a Crowntial. Same amount of effort, and in the end, there are probably too many veils around.

A bit OT. I have always wondered why so many veils were being bred. A friend of mine bred veils late last year, and basically the whole batch looks pretty okay. They vary in color and fin lenght, but that is about it. So a veil breeder, breeds a low priced fished but can sell most every male he breeds.

Recently a batch of Crowns arrive at the LFS. The fish came from Malaysia apparently. About 35-40 of them were sold as Crowntails. The finnage quality varied a lot though. Than there were 3 or 4 times the number of combtails, roundtails and fish that looked like Delta's but with tiny spikes. A lot had fins so short, they were actually brought in as females. There was even a male Plakat in the bunch (maybe got thrown in by mistake) :eek:

The main point against breeding veils is that you will have no where to send the fish you breed since no one will want them. I started to realize of late that whether I breed Crown, Halfmoon Geno's or Veils I will have plenty of fish that will be hard to find homes for.

Between the poorly developed Crowntails and the not so nice Veils, the Veils look better.

I would think though that Halfmoon Geno's (assuming you match a pair with good colors) would yeild the least number of "mutts". Even the humble Delta (90-119 degree caudal fin is still a pretty impressive fish).
