Very well done I hope they all survive and keep breeding.
If you keep breeding where are you going to house them all?

i have likle 20 or more betta containers left and empty, those r over a gallon, the smaller ones i will house in jars, but i love this female, she throws crowntails, and she isnt even a crowntail i wonder what i will get if i breed her to a 4 ray

WOW thats great congratulations/:'

What is a 4 ray, I love bettas and fish, but i have not really been informed on the different types and names and stuff, if you could tell me that woudl be great!

on crown tail bettas, they rays go past there tail, but when they do, most LFS cts will have a single ray, and others can have double rays, and others 4 rays, i haven't seeen a 4 ray in awhile, but if i remmeber right, it is one fat ray with 4 spikes, and these rays will come out all over the edge of the tail, will try and find some pics.

this is a pic of a reg single ray ct.
pics to large, but try googling crowtail bettas.

Thanks for the explanation, unfortunately the pc i am on will not show me the picture but i think I understand what you are saying, I love crowntails, and my petsmart actually got some in one time they are absolutely awesome looking.

Here's a decent link on tail types: [link=http://bettas.fishjunkies.com/types.php]http://bettas.fishjunkies.com/types.php" style="COLOR: #00A0AE[/link]

~Meow. Thus spoke the cat.~

Thanks for the info I would love to start breeding mine but i am not quite ready to handle that yet. I have too many other things to do... Hopefully soon I will be able to I think mine would make some AWESOME fry, who knows!

good luck.

well after a scair a few weeks ago, he changed it was like he was stolen from his bowl and replaced with a new fish

he had a dangerous swim bladder problem, but it was gone the next morning, a few days later he lost his 4 rays, and turned to a double ray, and now hes pink, and ha has no dorsel fin, and one might never grow in he only had 1 ventral, and his tail is quite muscualr, because he has to throw his body around to get food, oh, and he also turned pink....so he name is lucky lefty but he looks liek a fish most people would cull but i love him to pieces, and pics will some asap

thats the spirit katie.

omg! ask alisha! he is 100% 4-ray crown tail, his rays split, then each split splits again! wait..is that still a 4 ray..or is it a 6 ray now? i love him so much! even if he cant swim right he is about an inch long now, or longer, and loves to flair! also he is the fastest swimmer i have ever seen, when he gets big, he is gunna have to go into a long tank, becasue the poor little guy slams into the sides of his 1 gallon, becasue he gets so inthused in flairing, he is adorable none the less! red fins, and pink body
