Ok out of all the fys I've had I take two males and two females from the fry. That has the finage and the coors I'm looking for and grow them to breed. At frist I didn't beleave in breeding sblins. LOL That's changed as I found they breed easyer and produce larger frys.
Here's a few more pictures of my stock and some of the females I've hand picked. For there markings and color and finage. I'm going to try and bred til I get a soild BLACK male either crown tail or vail tail. I'm trying this because I've never seen a soild black vail tail.
Ok here's something an old timer breeder of betta told me and I want to know if any of ya'll have either heard it or beleave it. "He told me that if you don't name your betta then it will dyi." So I name ever one of the males I keep. LOL I'm a beleaver in miths bad. LOL
Here's "Tude " he's named that because of his addatude it's all bad. LOL

I'm going to get my soild black and when I do I'm going to make head lines s he's going to be breed from top of the line fry. The best from each fry best finnage best color and best marking from the top in each fry. LOL My saying is never give up on the color you want and you'll get it this may be a long ways down the line . But I will get it.
