Selective Breeding
Choosing which bettas to spawn is very important. You will be spending a lot of time and effort on these fish, so why not pick a good pair?

Joep's article on Selective Breeding was what initially got me thinking that I could make my own line of bettas. It's so highly informative and complete that I don't think there is any way that I could improve upon it :) Check it out!! ​(http://www.bettaterritory.nl/BT-AABselectivebreeding.htm)
Selective Breeding YouTube Series with Joep van Esch
Joep and I teamed up to make a livestream series where we discuss betta genetics! We love this format because this let's us answer the questions that are important to you. Make sure to subscribe to my channel so that you don't miss the next one!
Practice Makes Perfect
I decided that I want to start a mini-series on selecting the best bettas to work with. There is no commentary in this video - rather, it is to give people a chance to evaluate several different fish and exercise their analysis skills. Thus, these examples can focus discussions on genetics and selective breeding. I will be posting them in the International Betta Congress and Bettas4All Facebook Groups as well as on my YouTube.
Watch this video first and decide which male you would spawn and why
My analysis and final decision!
