Is the marble gene in bettas dominant?

The marble betta is likely a partial dominant, although some believe that the trait is a partial-recessive or a co-dominant. So, crossbreeding a marble and a solid-colored betta fish will usually result in a spawn of mostly solid-colored fish, with a few marble-patterned bettas thrown into the mix.

Do Koi Bettas change color?

They do naturally change color, but only very gradually when compared to other bettas. In fact, how they look at 3 months old might be the same as how they look at 1 year old. However, a sudden change of color might be a sign of an underlying ailment or sudden change in water conditions.

Which type of Betta will most likely have more crowntails?

Using the main rule of genetics, breeding a crowntail with a plakat will most likely have more crowntails that plakats. Breeding a red betta with a black betta will have offspring mostly red. Explanation: This table illustrates a cross between a long finned betta (such as a veiltail) and a short finned betta (such as a plakat).

What kind of fish is a Cambodian Betta?
