can you predict my betta spawn??

Question

i have a male betta that is red and blue and a little bit green and my female betta[my stupid cat ate it:'( ] is half blue and half brown with a little bit of red so what will come out of my spawn??

Answer 1

Red is the dominant color in bettas, so most of your spawn will have red on them. About 50% will be mostly red. I wouldn't expect any to be a solid color as you have no solod colored adults in the mix and several colors going on. Blue is the next most dominant color and since both parents so blue, you should expect at least 50% ( more likely to be 75%) to have blue on them. Green is a variant on blue so it will be there as well, but only a few will actually show green (about 12.5%) Brown carries traits from several colors and is not transmitted well when only present in one parent so don't expect much brown at all (about 2.25%).

Now these numbers are talking about what genes the fish will carry, which is not always what you see on the fish. We are also talking about the total spawn, nit just what lives to get color, so it's always possible that all of the brown or green ones will already be dead before then.

Ok, first of all, unless you know a lot about raising beta's then fry are not likely to survive too long. Also, you will need to know what to feed them since they are so small that they cannot eat adult beta food. Beta fry only take a few days to hatch. Assuming that your fry have hatched and you have the correct foods for them, if they make it to adult-hood they should mostly be red and blue. Similar to the parents coloring with variations of the placement and percentage of the red and blue in each. Also, some might be solid blue and some might be all red. Good luck.

Answer 3

there is no telling what you are going to get due to the fact you may not know what the generations before them look like they could all come out looking nothing like the parents or they could all look like the male or female or get traits from both.

Answer 4

call it a wild guess,but I'd say little bettas
