Stable Red

Spawned: 

The main reason I prefer to breed Betta that are more than 5 months old is that genotypic attributes can be assessed more accurately with matured fishes. The flip side of this methodology is that fertility maybe an issue as older fishes are less virile. Anyway, I prefer mid-size spawns that is easier to manage. I do not need the numbers as the line is much more stable.

Nonetheless, I managed to spawn my red champ with one of its aunt. I plan to spawn it another time in January with another female.

One of my 2 month +  

With my red line proven and stable, maybe it is more interesting to try another colour... what will it be?

Red Glory

Champion in Red HMPK class

Last weekend, my self-bred Red HMPK won the 1st placing for the Red HMPK class in the National Betta Competition (NBC).

This two-time champion has very minimal irids also won 1st prize for the Red HMPK class in the November competition (96 Betta Competition). It was from a medium size spawn from line-bred parentage.

A potential successor

It is high time to propagate  his genes. This weekend, I would be deciding which females from its siblings and cousins to match with him, hopefully his offspring would glorify its bloodline in Aquarama 2013. 

I am also looking for a few potential Red in younger spawns to prepare for future competition.
