Gold Double-Tail Halfmoon Male

Hi all, here's a half-decent gold DTHM male from me. The form & finnage on this piece is pretty poor, but currently I think this could be the best DTHM that I've produced thus far. I said I think, because for past DTHMs I never really took care of the water/timing of jarring and their fins were pretty horrid ... :S Maybe in the future, there will be nicer DTHMs popping out from this line.

A recent Gold Halfmoon Male

Allow me to share a recent Gold HM male from my line that I've been working on for around 2.5 years now. Finally seeing some improvement in overall balance and anal shape, something still very rare in gold HM lines that I've seen around. Of course there are positives on this fish, but negatives are there as well. It is always challenging to juggle the development of all traits (form/finnage/balance & color/intensity), and hope that there will be further improvement in the future. Wish me luck!

I just entered him in a local show, and he achieved 3rd Place in the Light Metallic Halfmoon Class. Not bad huh? :) He has just been sold to a local betta enthusiast.

Intense Gold Double-tail Betta

This is my proudest achievement so far. This male Doubletail Plakat (DTPK) from my line won champion in a recent IBC International Competition. He was placed 1st in the Double-tail Show Plakat class which were contended by 22 show bettas. Do you think that this is the best double tail plakad gold betta you have ever seen? :)

Fancy Fire Female Halfmoon Plakat

This is one of my favourite Fancy HMPK Females, and one of the best fancy females that I have produced. I love her body shape and color-pattern. She has been sold in an auction, and fetched quite a high price. Many thanks to the buyer. :)

Awesome 6-Color Fancy OHMPK

This time, let me share with you a show plakat that not only has good balance and form&finnage, but also has excellent colors, contrast and marbling. I'm told from the person whom I bought this male from that it is from an Indonesian breeder (no idea who he is though). Planning to use him to cross to my young fancy females soon. Wish me luck. :)

Male Gold HMPKs

Here are some males from a recent batch of gold plakats. Generally the intensity is not as good as the intense gold batches, but are still quality golds nevertheless. To me, it is caused by most of them having more opaque. I'm quite satisfied with the color for this batch as most of them are clean golds, with pretty even color. BTW, all of these are sold.
