shadoh Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 (edited) I LOVE the vibrant orange of the male. I didn't realize until I was uploading photos that I didn't get any of the female. I must have been dazzled by the beauty of the male. ...if you look carefully at the last photo, you can glimpse the female :) Edited April 30, 2011 by shadoh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fletch Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 He is settling in nicely. Equal first in my opinion. Love the orange, so deep and intense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadoh Posted April 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 (edited) Here is the female. I must have subconsciously not taken her photo because she is Busman's favorite I have to admit, I wasn't too impressed with her when I picked her up - she looked so different. Once I got her into the tank and she settled in, she is now in my top 3! Edited April 30, 2011 by shadoh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishbites Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 I've said before I can't stand orange Bettas - but...... this pair is yet another real exception.... I think its the black trim and deep orange colour that does it for me.... Can almost imagine some orange pineapples coming from this pair.... very nice pair Jarrod.....

shadoh Posted April 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 Thanks Wayne. If the intensity of the orange is carried forward, some orange pineapples would look stunning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 Interesting dragon like scales on the girl. Not so heavy on the boy though. He's a great looking PK too. I know Yan would be beside herself with jealousy over this one. That overtime you did earlier didn't even get a chance to settle in the bank did it Shadoh?

shadoh Posted April 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 To be honest, I was spending it on AB while I was earning it The female reminds me a little of the marble female Adam has with the patches of dragon scales... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yanagi Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 (edited) ^^ RE Paul; The male yes, female.. not so much. I'd rather the female from the yellow pair, lol. I mix and match. Nicely chosen pairs, Shadoh. :) Edited April 30, 2011 by Yan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrefly Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 I prefer the lady myself, her orange seems more red-orange, and I like that she has touches of white/cellophane fins. Like everyone else, am very excited to see the eventual offspring. So glad we are getting some Bettas like this into Australia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BettaObsessed Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 I love the orange bettas almost as much as the blues so this pair are very worthy :drool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kermadum Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 These are my favourites of your new fish. Beautiful colours!!! I might have to get me some of these when you breed them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadoh Posted May 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 I'll keep you in the loop. I'm going to breed the 2 pair of HM's first on someone's recommendation... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadoh Posted June 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 5 failed spawns have given me the betta blues... I am hoping this pair will get it on and cheer me up. I'll post a spawn log if successful. If not, you'll hear about it here... He's bit of a spoon head. I'm hoping her topline might smooth things out a bit with the fry...

Fletch Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 These are great looking fish. My favorites for sure. Good luck mate, wish I had an answer for you but I can't tell you anything you don't already know. Fingers & Toes crossed for you. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
les Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 Hi Jarrod Try him with your yellow girl she has done the job once and maby she can help him along they would make for a nice combination yellow with black trim MMMMM Cheers Les Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadoh Posted June 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 Thanks Les, that is one of my plans further down the track. He's with his spawn sister right now though. I have some green dragon plakats coming in next shipment, so that is my next plakat spawn.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadoh Posted June 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 Thanks Matt I guess you are going to have to be really good for the next few months and not get yourself grounded :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrefly Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 5 failed! I must have missed a few threads lately.. Sorry Jarrod, whats been going wrong exactly? :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadoh Posted June 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 Numerous pairs and numerous problems. Young inexperienced pairs. One or both fish not ready. Mistakes made on my part. I have to say, I had lost my confidence in getting fish to spawn, so this is a real boost! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_95 Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 I can feel another grounding coming on, my heater failed and my bettas are looking in a bad way, dad wont drive to a friends house to borrow one and Hua just died. Maybe after that I will try to not get grounded :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadoh Posted June 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 I bought the green dragons on AquaBid when I bought the last lot of fish. Their arrival was delayed by flooding in the breeders region. They will arrive in the next shipment in a couple of weeks time :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
