Okay, what i have is a male King betta from petco (red and blue) thats darker colored but the fins are very bright. The female is a female veiltail from petsmart (white body with neon red fins). The setup is a 5.5 gallon filled with 4" of water covered with artificial plants floating around and a spongefilter (turned off for now). Well I kept the female in a glass jar in the tank for 24 hours and then released her. Within 10 min they were breeding and have been for the past 2 hours. i have been sitting by the aquarium to keep an eye on them this evening to watch for when she is done breeding. So far there isnt any injury at all, which i am thrilled about. As soon as i can I will post pictures. My question is what sort of variety should i expect from the fry as they grow mature? Such as veil tail vs giant and such. Thanks for reading!
Breeding "king" betta

I don't know - but what, specifically, is a "King" ?
Also, how long did you condition the female? And how?

honestly, you'll get tons of random fishes popping out because no one knows the genetics behind the king or the veil tail. Ive bred two pure white bettas before, and only 2 turned out all white.. Id had yellow, reds, blues, and a few monsters.... so it'll be pretty random....will be fun tho... I love breeding bettas, I just hate taking care of the frys...lol
well shortly after the eggs started hatching i thought that the male ate all the children, so i took him out and the tank sat for a day with the sponge filter running. well i thought it was time to try and breed the bettas again so i started using air tubing to syphon out the debris and saw shomething tiny dart away from the tube. well, turns out that there are about 30ish babies that were still alive! so i put in some bbs and hopefully from here i can raise them to adulthood!
