Wackinator Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 Hey Is it true that female black crowntails are infertile? or is it just black crowntails in general? Now Im curious how you breed black crowntails at all, like what kind of cross do you end up doing? Once again thanks guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishclubgirl Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 Okay, the IBC(International Betta Congress) has lots of discussion about this. As far as I can recall, it's black melano females and it's not limited to tail type. The suggested female is a steel blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wackinator Posted March 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 Thanks fishclubgirl I had hoped you would reply as bettas seem to be your field of expertise (no offense to anyone else as I know theres more than just her that are experts at bettas) I didnt even know there was an international betta congress but a steel blue female and a black male produce mostly black fry then? Thats pretty sweet Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingin' It Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 There's a black halfmoon male at Pisces right now, they just got him in. Well, that's assuming that someone didn't snatch him right up! He's $18! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wackinator Posted March 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 really? Damn by the time I get to go Im pretty sure he'll be snatched >.> But thanks a lot for the notification lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snaggle Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 I was reading an article about the elusive black betta, it was saying that black bettas are line bred from dark blue bettas. There are almost no full back bettas they all have some blue, you just breed it out of them for some reason. I will try and find where I saw this for you.
