Join the fun of Breeding!

Hello new and old readers,

I noticed a spike in the sales of Baby Brime Shrimp Eggs; this makes me happy as I spoke to a few of them and they are all new towards the journey of Betta Breeding. To all of you out there, welcome to this enjoyable chapter of Betta Keeping!

Just to "infect" more of you to join this fun and rewarding experience, I will be sharing random pictures of my spawns in the past. I had been breeding countless spawns for the past 10 years plus and hence, I am able to declare baby brime shrimps (BBS) as the best fry food, as well as produce certain guides to help hobbyists out there such as the lazy BBS egg hatching.

Mobile: Guides are on the drop-down box on the top.
Website: Guides are on the list on the right.

Enjoy...


Cheers! :)

Clearing of Late (But good) Developers from King Crowntail Spawn

Hi bros/sis,

As per the title, I have a handful of remainders from this spawn. Thanks for all the support grabbing the bigger siblings as always, appreciate it, hope you guys are developing them well. They should grow out fine due to the strong genetics background.

The late developers will be selling at 3 for $10. However, as per my White Platinum Spawn, late does not mean bad. They will still grow out fine just that they are losing out in the food battle with their siblings when juvenile.

Here's a tip for all Crowntail keepers, always add Blackwater Essence/Extract and only change 50% of the water per water change, this will keep their rays strong and thick!

Please click into my stocklist link on the right side of this page or the scroll list on the top if you are using your mobile. Happy crowntail keeping! or Click here!




Cheers! :)

Last White Knight Standing

Hi White Betta Lovers,

I've always wondered why don't we call White Platinums as White Knights? Since they are white and shiny with irids like like armour across the body, unlike White Opaques (Chalky White).

Anyway these are just names, as long as you like the fish, you can name it whatever you wish.

As most of you have gotten White Platinum Halfmoon Plakats from me over the month, I hope most of them turned out awesome. This line is very good (I always use high quality pairs in my spawn) and hence, even the last male I have (supposingly rejected by all previous viewers due to late development) shows this form.

He's in the community tank all along but no one chose him, so I jarred him for 3 days and groomed him, atlas, here's a video to share, quite a cute small fellow:

Thus, a good guide for breeders out there who loves to groom them alot (like myself), always use strong lines - Meaning parents that you know are from breeders of winning lines or most of the spawn have good features and so on, so the genetics is in place.

PS: This male will be for sale, although I am tempted to keep him. Please refer to stocklist.

Cheers! :)

Will there be a King amongst the Princes?

Hi Crowntail Lovers out there,

Here's my next project, a King Crowntail Father mated with a cross-ray spawn Crowntail Female; Both are Black Orchids.

For beginners, King Crowntails or KCT are Crowntails with the tip of their finnages (rays) crossed against other set of rays. The female is from Indonesia while I believe the male is from Thailand.

Check out the father (rays are thinner due to age, spawned at about est 6-12 months old age)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XysZN0g_4yY

You can see that he is definitely a champ at prime!

The female is no less of a beauty:



And from here, you may learn of the term Black Orchid; Whereby the background colour is black and the body's rays and scales are of grey/white base and outlined black. On some cases, Black Orchids may have scales that are blue or green.

Here's an update and I hope to yield many beauties from this! Reason why I want to clear my whites fast, kinda look forward to this spawn!

PS: White Platinum HMPK Juniors are selling like hotcakes, left a few more selling cheaply at $5-10 as I don't really wish to cull yet. Watch them here:

Incoming Lunar New Year - White Platinum Halfmoon Plakat Sales

Hello Betta Lovers,

Festive greetings to all!

My White Platinum Halfmoon Plakats are about 2.5 months only but I am jarring alot and running out of space. I am now doing different projects here and there to discover the fun out of breeding other types, like a 3 week old King Crowntail Spawn I have now.

Thus, the Whites will be for sale now! Selling at reasonable rates of $10-$40 depending on quality and quantity. Please note they are juniors and need to be groomed into the likes of the father or mother, some are showing good potential!
