love her! sence i recenlty lost my other black girl i decided it was time to look again, well i found the PEREFCT black girl her body is PITCH black with some green scaling and her fins are red, a undesireable trait, but hey, i saw her and wanted her, then saw her brother ( a dark steel blue) both are crown tails, and both are double ray, i am setting up the breeding tank tomorrow

(pics comming soon!)

Congrats on the new betta's. What type of breeding setup are you going to use? I was thinking of trying to breed mine once I find a suitable female.

Sounds nice, wish I had one. Where did you find them at?

sounds like a nice black lace and steel blue CT.

I didn't think Black Females could breed? mabey Im reading some out of date materials...

Good luck anyway/:'

melano females are very hard to breed, as about 97% of them are infertile, Black lace is the more common type of "black" betta, they are mixed colors so they are fert.

the "black" betta is a very general term as their are alot of types of "black" bettas. and the "black" genetics have been altered so many times.

i have a 10 gallon set up, with lots of floating plants, and around 2-3 gallons of water in it, i alsoready have the male and female in there (female is still in hurracane jar)i havent checked on them in a bit, but im starting to condition them too, she is LOADED with eggs for such a small girl! i reckon i will get around 100 viable babys to hatch, and knowing me probly 2 will survive but i cleaned the tank EXTRA good this time, and im goingto work harder to keep the fry alive and well, so far, all the fry that i have live atleast one of the parents died months later, so starting this wekend the bettas will be put on a scedual, and they will be recieving gravel in their tanks PLUS an anchored plant! i know they will be happy
