Here's my new male from Cameofins... I love the heavy coloring on him. I got him and a sister and an extra sister. :o I was excited to see an extra in the box.. :D
I'll get pictures of the girls later. He's such an active fella.... Never sits still... :lolo:

:wub: Thumbsup Oooh! He's pretty! He shimmers! Do you have a name for him yet?

Oops. I suppose Frosty Morning.

Yeah, he sure is shimmery.. lol, yeah his name is Frosty Morning. I figure it fits since he's from her Frosted line.

Yep, makes sense. The name fits him, too. Where did you get him from?

Yeah, it does fit him.. He's from Cameofins.

Awsome lookin boy sandy who ya gonna breed him with ?? :Ohlalala

Thanks... Probably one of the females that he came with. One I personally think has a better overall shape than the other and I like her color better, she's got less masking than her sister, but I don't really care.. :lolo: After that, I may spawn him with an opaque Trad. PK from my mini line. Somehow I'm going to get mini HMPKs. :lolo:

Well, here's the girls.
My favorite of my new HMPK girls. This is the one I'd more than likely pair with Frosty Morning.





And here is Wild Blue. I couldn't think of a name that I haven't already used for a blueish betta.

Wow, You have a really good camera, I never saw those fish so close up before, that female really IS nice, lol. Best of luck with them. :)

Thanks... I'm still working on figuring out the best settings for taking betta pictures. Thank you so much, again, for all of them... :ROCK

i like the first fem she is so beautiful and what a gorgeous green!! when your done you will have to let me borrow her lmao!

Beautiful! :wub:

Wow! They already arrived. :lolo:
Nice. Are you going to breed them soon? :P

Thanks y'all..
Uh, yeah, borrow... :NOPE :P I'm not so sure I could let her go... :lolo:

Yep, they arrived the 14th. I don't want to breed them too soon. Although I'm not sure how soon is too soon. :lolo:

they are beautiful and I love how they shimmer :hug:

Wow! I like the green girl too. Green is my favorite color. They sure are pretty! I bet you are so excited! I would be!

both pretty fish. I just love frosty morning and what a cute name. I love how he sparkles

Debbie's fish rock don't they!

She does such a great job with them. I like the name too, very fitting.

Say, would you happen to be the person who has bought from me before? Your name sounds familiar.

nope if you mean me. The only two I have are from Yeevs that he orginally got from Thailand

Nope, I meant Sandy.

that is what I figured. just making sure

Okey dokey.

Thanks everyone....
Yeah, Debbie's fish are awesome.
WML, I don't think I have ever bought any bettas from you, yet. :D

Well, Frosty Morning and the green female spawned today. Although they both ate the eggs. :chair :chair :chair I'll probably re-spawn them in a few weeks.

Well, that's a half a step better then them just ripping each other to shreads with no spawning! Keep us updated!

That's sure true.... I'll keep y'all updated. :)

Darn it! I hate when that happens!

Same as my grizzle pair too. Hahaha :OO

Well, the good news is.... I left the female in the tank for a couple more days and they spawned again. The eggs that they got to did end up getting eaten and some got put up in the nest before they got eaten. But I was able to salvage some... Around 20, several ended up with fungus, but there's about 14 that at least seven have hatched so far and the rest are starting to hatch. So we'll see how this goes.. :D
Also Frost has a lot of blue on him now. I'll get pictures sometime soon. :lolo:

wow congrats Sandy you proud mama :D

Thanks bettaqueen.. Yes, I am very proud.. :) They've all hatched out, so now's the hard part keeping them alive until they are free-swimming, from then on they ought to be alright.. I think tomorrow I'm going to put them in my photo tank in a ten gallon. Maybe I can get another pair to spawn here in the next couple days so they'll have other fry to grow up with. But we'll see...

Frosty Morning is cool a Betta, what colors are you hoping to get out of the spawn?

Oo, I can't wait to see his new pictures!

Congratulations on the spawn!!

Thanks y'all. :D
bigphunny, I'm not sure what colors exactly I'm looking for. I'd love for some greens, like green marbles. But I think greens would be too much to hope for. Turquoise is pretty much what I'd expect to see and maybe some blues. But I'll just have to wait and see what I get. :)
So far all 14 are still alive and from what I can tell are doing well. I'm planning to pick up some liqufry this afternoon for them as my mom has planned a quick trip to OH this weekend and hatching out bbs and getting one of my brothers to feed the fry bbs while I'm gone would be WAY too much to hope for. So hopefully they would be able to manage one little drop of liqufry once or twice a day. :huh:

Congrats on the fry. I know Debbie will be happy to hear it when she returns from her vacation.

Thanks WML.. I'm sure she will...

Well, the fry are still alive... I did NOT have my brothers feed them while I was gone as I didn't trust them not to kill the babies. I started them on bbs almost as soon as I got home.

By the way. Your avatar, is that a fish you own? He's so beautiful. Do you still have him?

Thanks... Yes, I do still have him. That picture is of my male Silver Penny. He ended up with a good bit of black mixed on him, and now that's fading a little.

Where did you get him? What's his genetic background? I just love the color.

Actually, I bred him myself. As for genetic background...

This is the spawn that he came from. The pair that I started with was the Opaque and Green/Red STPKs. Synirr bred the Copper and Cambodian pair and I got my original pair from her. The Orange STPKs, I believe were bred by someone called Wuvmybetta on another forum, not to be confused with Luvmybetta. And I believe that pair came from bettysplendens. That's pretty much all I know about his linage. :D
