I got Half Green Lace and Half Copper Lace, NO idea where the Copper came from but i like them :D and About half of them turned out to be Halfmoons! In the end i ended up with about 50 + fry. Now i am going to breed my gold guys you can see the picture of the male in my profile.

The method for breeding and raising them was from a ebook i bought when i started with bettas. This book has been great and the success is amazing!

Thanks for looking, Matt

Betta Splendens are very hardy fish. If taken care of well they can survive and thrive for years. They are a very unique fish and do not need any kind of aeration. They can live in smaller then normal tank ( But that doesn't mean they like it).
There are various variations in bettas the more common are Halfmoon, Veiltail, Crowntails, and Plakats. Even though they are hardy you should always make sure you take good care of them.
Below are some very good ebooks about setting up and caring for your betta splendens. And i recomend readin atleast one before buying and setting up a tank for them.

See the sites for more information about the ebooks.
