Intense Gold DTHMPKs

Sharing some of the males from one of my recent gold plakat batches. For this spawn, the gold color is the best that I've achieved, and personally, the most intense gold that I've ever seen on show bettas. The metallic spread also has seen further improvement here, with almost all having very good metallic spread including the pectorals. Hope to continue improving on my gold DTPKs, especially on the DT form & finnage. Wish me luck!

Best Gold HM females I've produced so far

Sharing two sibling HM females from a not-so-recent "recent" batch. At the MAHA Competition end of last November, Female 1 won 1st placing in the Female HM Unicolor Class and 2nd place overall in the Female Division. Sorry , I did not manage to take photo of her with prime finnage condition. I delayed till Christmas for the photoshoot and did not take water change seriously. Furthermore, I accidentally did some minor damage to her anal before the photoshoot when scooping her out using my bare hand - yes, very seldom do I use the krabuey or net to move my bettas... :( But seriously, normally for me, the bare-hands method offers the lowest probability of causing fin damage - however, sadly this time I blundered...

Photo of Female 2 was taken about a week ago. Both are DT-genos, but Female 2 looks a good prospect to boost up the dorsals of future DTs.
