In early 2024 I started thinking about what I'd like to work on in the future. My yellow koi line was finally producing the bettas I was wanting to create, I had given up on my marble dumbos, and I was ready to start my next project. It was around this time that Prism Bettas teamed up with Franks Bettas to bring in wild types. I instantly fell in love with a specific yellow male with a long tail and cyan striping. I impulse purchased him and a yellow female. At the time I figured I would pair him to my yellow koi line to take it in a new direction, but life took me in a new direction. My company had unexpectedly shut down, and my new job took me across the country. I was able to bring the spadetails and a few other bettas with me, but was unable to breed at that time. A year passed, I bought a house, went through grief, and finally had a second to breath again. It was in this time I thought about bettas. The ones I brought with me had been living in their own tanks, but hadn't been conditioned in a long time. I started conditioning them to see who would be interested in breeding and found that the Spadetails were still good to go.
