Yellow Koi Spawn 3b
F3b: 7-30-23
Mango - Male Yellow/Blue Tiger
Mango is my pride and joy! I had a super small test spawn with Waterlily from my first spawn and a Rose Gold female in November of 2021. They produced 2 fry, Mango and a pretty blue female. I have been holding onto Mango for a while, waiting to see if he'd turn blue but after 2 years he is still a pretty yellow base with full iridescent mask, and blue spots that haven't moved. He is perfect <3
Banana - Female Yellow Dumbo
After Yellow Koi 3a produced mostly red bettas, I wanted to try a second yellow female with Mango to try and produce more yellow bettas. Clearly that goal failed as most fry ended up red. I did get one female with a slightly yellow tint, but unfortunately her form isn't good enough for a spawn of her own. I do really like the fry that were produced though, the pinks are super clear and pretty!
The Spawn
Hatched : 7-30-2023
Amount : 11
Deformities : None!
Colors : Pink, Blue, Copper, White, Cello, and Yellow. Some had koi spots, marble, and grizzle, but most were solid color.
Goals Met : Great form, wrong colors lol
Continue : I kept betta 01 from this spawn. Female 05 was a contender for a spawn, but her head was slightly straight. I plan to pair Male 01 with a half sister. I am hoping that they both carry the yellow gene and produce 50% yellow bettas, along with mixed koi or solid colors.
