YES! I Won

[ManyFISH4Me]

I am also getting a Sib female, and have asked for more info on parents.
(Type & Colors) The seller said this male was the only one with those huge peck fins. I hope that the females will carry the gene. If I can pick the color of the female, what would be the best match? I was think, one with as little color as possible. Do you think it matters?

I hope breeding him to a sis will give me fry with fins like dad. Or do you think it would be better to breed him back to mom?

I hope this works. This took my 15 min.

I was looking at him too, and had to resist the urge to bid on him! He's gorgeous

I was also looking at him and was about to bid. Hehe, then I decided not to, for fear of the parents freaking out when he arrived in the post.

He's beautiful.
I, unlike everyone else, wasn't looking at him to bid on.
BUT... i have a VT that has large pec fins too and was just wondering if that's a gene in fish that is just really uncommon, or what the story is with it - as I had never seen another one with pecs that big until I found Gabriel.

I will be really interested in seeing what you get for babies from that boy!

Haha! I, too, was looking at that guy. He's so cool! Congrats on the win!

Do you have any pics of gabe's pecks? It's too bad that 1 wasn't female. I'd say lets breed them. Even though yours is a veil, at least we'd know if it is a gene, or mutation.

Here we go - the first one is kinda creepy, but you can see how big his pecs are.

Interesting that you call him Gabe I refer to those pec bettas as angel fish They look like they have wings Good find

You have seen big Pec Bettas before? Is it a Breedable trait? I hope, I Hope.

I called him Gabe after one of the Archangels. I went out and got him the day I was bummed out about having lost a betta that I drug home from a wedding table decor tragedy. I saw his little angel wings and knew I had to have him - it was a sign.

my guy cobalt has really big ones too

 

[BettaMomma]

Have any pictures?

 

[GuppyDude]

wow those r big pec fins you should get some very interesting fry from that boy, the females will likely carry the gene as well but wont display it on their finage. gl

I think my best bet is to see if the seller will sell me the mom. If it gene, it came from one of the parents. So, I think breeding this guy with the mom, will give me a better shot than, a sib sis.
All you breeders out there, what are your thoughts??
