Betta Genetics

Hello Betta Enthusiasts,

Recently, I was queries about the genetics on bettas. Frankly, dealing with such colourful species of fish, I always advise to either go for the adventurous fancy, or stick to a certain solid colour; such as my favourite Platinium White x Platinium White.

However, certain solid colours can be very fun to breed with, such as the classic Blues!

This is because just by crossing different kinds of blues, you are able to get either Steel Blue, Turquoise or Royal Blue (favourite), refer to the genetics table above to get what I mean!

I had successfully bred around 10+ spawns of blue during my course of Betta Keeping, and it is easy to know why RB is my favourite; just crossing a pair will usually get you 3 different tones of blue, very rewarding feeling for every breeder!

I hope I answered all of you aspiring Blue Betta Breeders' questions, so do get those tanks ready and start breeding...

With Bettafanism's freshest and premium BBS eggs of course! :p

One of my Blue spawn made it 2nd in a Breeders' Comp back in 2010.

Betta Fries CAN feed on Baby Brime Shrimps!

Hello Betta World,

Over the past few years of selling Baby Brime Shrimp Eggs (BBS Eggs), I received many enquires on whether newly hatched Betta Fries are able to feed on BBS or not.

So here's a post to address the answer so new breeders can comfortably dive into this hobby: YES!

Take the time to read Bettafanism's Spawning/Breeding Guide, a brief summary of the feeding program for your fries will be:

Hatched to Day 2-3: No feeding, fries feed on yolk sac.

Day 3 to Day 15-20: Baby Brime Shrimp feeding! (Cleanest and most nutritious fry food based on 10+ years of experience)

Day 20 to Day 60: Tubifex Worms

Day 60 to Day 90: Tubifex Worms, Pellets, Bloodworms; they are young adults now.

This post should help you out there, no microworms or daphnia will be required!

Cheers! :)

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! :)
