Re: OT. bettas

While I never crossed B. splendens with B.bellica, I did cross B. splendens 
with B. smaragdina and B. imbellis. I even crossed the smags and imbellis. 
The offspring were fertile. There was a fish around many years ago called the 
Phuket betta. Many people were crossing splendens with this fish and then 
breeding the offspring back to splendens. The reason this was done was to 
strengthen the spleneds finnage when they flared. This little experiment 
never worked. We also never left any of the hybrids out to the hobby. Some 
people did however.
