Betta Hybrid

[Masta_Cheef]

I bought a new Betta yesterday, and I think he's a hybrid between a veil tail and a crown tail. Can anyone verify this?

Sorry about the not-so-great pic, it's kinda dark.

Anyone? I'm still curious..

All I see is a red x, not that I can answer your question tho. I just wanted to see the pic.

 

[Masta_Cheef]

Oy.. okay. Well, the pic is also my avatar. It's not a great pic, though. Let me try to fix it.

Okay, pic should be fixed. Anyone still not seeing it?

ooooooooooooooooo he's perdy. he looks like the one i saved from ich at the petshop


sorry- not quite sure if he's a cross between veil and crown. looks like it though.

The Bettas I've bought looked exactly like that... I'll try to get a pic too, if it's alright with you? Mine almost looks exactly the sane also.

Yeah! I'd love to see yours. I'm just curious, cause my betta doesn't look quite like my Sister's, and I know she has a veil tail.

P.S. I love your signature. Family Guy is my favorite.

Here he is (Family guy is a hilarious show...)

Cool! Is he a turqoise/aqua green color, or is that the flash? More of my betta here.

 

[kgb]

He's all kinds of colors, I don't know how to describe it.

I think your betta is a hybrid of a veil tail and a crowntail.

 

[Masta_Cheef]

I thought so.

That wouldn't be a hybrid though, as they are the same species. I think that would be something more along the lines of incomplete dominance. The second betta looks like a veiltail.

They're the same species, but they're different variants. Cars that run on electricty are still cars, are they not? They're the same thing with slight variances. In this case, there's two different strains of betta DNA (i.e., crowntail, veiltail). At least that's the way I see it..

 

[ashleigh]

Sure, but it's a much slighter variance than that. Less than between breeds of dogs- it's more like a long haired dachsund and a short haieed. A hybrid is a cross between two completely separate species. Actually I though in your other picture thread he just looked like a crowntail- probably not breeder but a great looking fish.

Thanks for the compliment, along with everyone else!
