Salamander bettas?
by aly_starh Thu 21 Jan 2010 - 15:00
Are Salamander bettas rare in the UK? Or is it just people dont breed them much?
I like the look of the Plakat ones not the Halfmoons.

The only person I know of that have bred that colour in the UK is Incognito. I think they had some last year. They are not that commonly seen here though.

One of our older retired females is Salamander coloured [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] I believe its a harder colour to perfect, but i may be wrong?

Yea I think you're right on that Van.
Though to be honest I usually just call them butterfly as salamander is a bit hard to define.
I've still got a male one but no female ..... i'm tempted to breed with a good solid white female to see what i get. Either i'll get some pinks, some even more defined white as the white is red based so should also be equivalent to an outcross and hopefully some straight red/white bf and maybe the salamander colour tints too.
If I ever get around to sorting them! lol
