I am really wanting my
posts to begin with my first post and continue on from there in ascending order...I haven't figured that out yet and it is driving me batty!!!
I bought a beautiful little girl, my 1st girl betta. My first bettas are all males, which is what attracts people the most because of their beautiful and colorful fins, females are not quite as showy so they aren't displayed out in the open like the males. I went to Petsmart to specifically buy a female betta and all I saw were males (I tried not to look at them as I was searching the labels for a female). I had to ask the worker and he walked me to a section where I had been but totally overlooked the female bettas on an inside isle. There weren't many to choose from and I kind of had an idea what I was looking for and it must have been my lucky day! I have been thinking about breeding somewhere down the road and had one of my males in mind, Liberty, my Cambodian crown tail. Cambodians are a light solid body color and the fin coloring is usually in pastels. I especially like his pectoral fins which are usually not prominently noticable but Liberty's are a pretty pastel blue and if I do decide to breed I want to breed for the colored pectoral fins. My female, Independence, Indy is similarly colored and both have iridescent coloring which is also a trait I would like to breed for (see pics)
***NOTE*** Correction: I mistakenly named the colored fins I was fond of on my fish Liberty as dorsal fins when the fins I was actually referring to are the pectoral fins...see diagram below.

I initially named him Glory but changed it to Liberty |

Liberty- His coloring is different at different angles and lighting and so is Indy's |

Liberty's pectoral fins are very noticeable here. |
