 Welcome to my Spawn records page the links to the left contain records of my spawns and outcomes. I will be updating with pictures at 3 months  of age.  ONLY SUCCESSFULL SPAWN WILL BE LOGGED, Most recent spawns will be listed first. The Naming convention I will use is    

Well If you have reached this site it is because you have an interest in following my progress. This site is being started as a fulfillment of  a promise to Phil Lafferty the "OldeDragon".  to document my progress in becoming a Betta Breeder.  My story.....

My name is GREG ENGLER hence the name of the Website is GEBettas!. ! have been breeding fish for many years and have bred Angels, catfish and most recently show guppies.... currently I have some outstanding Blue Deltas that I got from Stan Shuble.... they are very high quality fish and probably show quality.  I like guppies, but the only problem is they are so uniform that it is very difficult to keep interested in the same color and strain....  Yes I will post some pics here some day.  Here are some to spark you curiosity Shubel Blues ....LOL

About 5 years ago I began my interest in bettas and talked to  Phil (hopefully one day I will meet him personally).  He started me off with some stock and I was on my way.  Until a major life event forced me out of the hobby.

Early this year I went to the pet store and found a couple of Bettas which I will try to spawn.  But I know from experience they may not amount to much because of unknown genetics.  But I figure I will try to spawn them to get some experience before spawning more important fish.

In early January, 2008 I contacted Phil Lafferty and enquired about getting some breeding stock.  After some questioning of my

  •  desires, and ability to raise bettas

  •  time commitment

  •  space and tank requirements (enough equipment to effectively raise bettas).

Mr. Lafferty and  I discussed the above and concluded that I should start off with a few strains of young breeders.  On January 16th, 2008 13 fish arrived and a listing of the fish can be found on my stock page.  They all are still alive but young and I am waiting a few weeks to a month to spawn them.

WHILE I AM WAITING... I AM GOING TO EXPERIMENT WITH ATTEMPTING TO SPAWN MY FISH STORE BOUGHT FISH.  The rest of this site will be a documentary of my breeding.  I intend to show you pics of all my breeding progress and show the Good and the Bad results.......wish me luck.

Go to my Breeders  page see my progress!!.

M1 = M stands for a Male fish, 1 is the Fish identifier ( ie Male 1)

03.03.2008 = date spawned (March 3rd 2008)                          

1-28-2009 SUCCESSFUL SPAWN DEFINITION -FRY ARE FREE SWIMMING.

1-24-2009 As I get into breeding more I am finding the need to simplify my naming convention. I found during my first round of raise fry is was difficult to label a spawn M1F103.03.2008 .  So  I am creating a spawn number to simplify tracking in my fish room. Instead of the lengthy date, my fish will carry just the spawn number.
