This guy wouldn't cooperate with me but I got a good picture of his rays. Breed worthy?


And a ugly mean masked face :coverlaugh

I'm not getting a good look at him but I'd say yes. Of course, it always depends on what you're wanting to achieve also.

Out of curiosity does he have steel wash?

I'm not seeing that Pou, where do you see that?

In the first picture between the webbing. I dunno he just looks more steely in the webbing to me than royal. (but that is just me) :) I know it happens I was just wondering if he had any since it is a common thing with irids. Besides I really like steel more than royal ane that is probably why I'm trying to give him more steel. ^_^

*gets out glasses*
*looks closer*

Hmmm.. yeah, I do see what you mean there, but, he is still Royal.

It's hard to tell tone in written posts especially when you don't know the people. Aiwen I just wanted to make sure you knew I wasn't criticizing you or your fish I was just asking questions to learn.

I don't think Ai is over sensitive, she'll know what you meant. :)

I've noticed that with ALOT of fish the rays are a slightly different color than the fins. My avatar, for example when he still had finns *sniffle sniffle over the sacrifice*, his fin color was a dark purple/blueish tone, but the rays were a bright steal blue. And I have noticed that that has held tryue for all of the fish that I received from that seller. By two metalic steal blue girls, their rays are slightly darker than their fins. It's nothing major, it's just something that I guess is common in dark colored fish?

Okay, everyone's Assignment (humor me please): If you have dark bodied bettas at home, weather it is irredecent or metalic or whatever, go and look closely at the rays on their caudal. Are they a slightly different color? Yes or No?

Ai,
I like him, he seems to have a nicely balanced form, all his rays look to be equal length, and have equal reduction.
I say go for it!

Wowee, nice find. :) I caught myself thinking "If that boy was bred to my royal blue HMPK girl... Royal Blue HMCTPK!!! :WOU" I have to control myself. :OO :OO :OO And I need to get babies from the royal blue pair first. <_<

:lolo: Haeun, you sound so much like me. I sit in the fishroom thinking, I was just doing that. :lolo:

Oh no problem Pou, I know what you mean, and I'm over sensitive heh :) I actually prefer steel too, but there were none. I believe RBs will throw out steels so I got him. Might breed him to a Blue/White marble CT girl and so what I get once my copper x fighter kids are big enough to move out :P

Is your blue white marble girl from Opaque? I'm really wanting to do clouds.

Put that tongue back in your mouth young lady!
:P That's my job!

Back in it goes :)

Actually she is not opaque based because she has a purplish tint/irid sort of thing going on. I've bred them once before and they were extremely sweet with no aggression at all, but the male ate all the eggs <_<

This time, I'll pull him. I can't afford to lose all of them again.

Ok, I want to hear what you get. ;)
