 | Do Betta fry always have horizontal stripes? |
Jaylene_Grasshopper   Hobbyist Posts: 50 Kudos: 61 Votes: 7 Registered: 09-Sep-2004   | I NEED HELP DESPERATELY! Well, before I begin, I would like to thank you for coming to read this post. Now, when I bred my Bettas, the female got horizontal stress stripes for a few seconds every embrace, and now our babies have horizontal stripes! They never go away! They are five weeks old. S, are these stripes due to genetics? Have we made a new strain? Or should they have this? Please write back! I'm counting on you guys Last edited by Lindy at 29-Sep-2004 00:10 |
