I am Bea and welcome to Bea's Bettas! I am a hobbyist betta breeder and enthusiast located in Raleigh North Carolina. I fell in love with bettas during my time working from home in 2020 and began breeding in 2021. My goal as a breeder is to create healthy and beautiful fish that live long lives in their new homes.
I am always available to take on unwanted and unwell bettas. Any surrendered bettas will be treated for illnesses and kept for a minimum of 2 weeks before adopted out.
Parents : Wild Splenden (Franks Bettas) x Yellow Koi HMPK
This is my first venture into wild hybrids. The fry came out with lovely form and somewhat peaked tails!
Parents : Yellow Koi 2a (Mango) x YK3af72 (Strawberry)
This was my last spawn with Mango before he retired, and also my frist line breeding. They created some of the most beautiful fish I've ever made and were everything I hoped for! They kept their colors and never marbled to blue.
Parents : Yellow Koi 2a (Mango) x Yellow Dumbo
Some lovely solid color plakats came out of this pairing, no dumbos which was expected, but also no koi spots. I kept a gorgeous white male to continue the line with.
Parents : Yellow Koi 2a (Mango) x Fancy Yellow
This was my largest spawn ever with 93 fry!! They created a lovely array of bettas with great form. Lots of reds, coppers, and pinks. Line continued with Yellow Koi 05.
Parents : Yellow Koi 2a (Mango) x Red Koi
These two were from my Group Spawn, the female from the red pair and male from the second yellow pair. They created some pretty fry that were raised by a friend, and another breeder continued the line.
Parents : Multiple Dumbo Bettas
This group of dumbo bettas will probably my last ever. It was so difficult to source quality bettas to breed, the ones I got were finicky to breed, and the spawns themselves were cursed. I did create some lovely blue dumbos, but none met my goals of creating kois.
After multiple failed attempts at pairing them again later, I decided to stop trying to create my line of Dumbo Halfmoon Koi. >:(
Parents : F1 Giant Marble Male x Giant Yellow Polkadot
This pair created large bettas, but their form was questionable. Their colors ranged widly, but all turned blue by 9 months of age. I did not continue this line.
Parents : Multiple Spawns
This was a bit of a disaster, but created a few gorgeous bettas. I bred multiple bettas all at once for more variety. It was not easy to maintain live food for the amount of fry I had, and one of the pairs created very sickly bettas who did not thrive. I did get Mango out of the second yellow koi pair who lives on with most of my spawns today. 0/10 would not do again.
Parents : Copper Nemo Dumbo HMPK x Lavender Dumbo HM
Lovely dumbo bettas were made, with one female in particular meeting my goals. Continued with Candy Dumbos 02
Parents : Orange Dalmatian HM x Fancy Koi HM
These guys produced beautiful halfmoon bettas with lots of reds and pinks. They were a great learning experience as my second spawn! Continued with Group Spawn 01
Parents : Giant Male Tiger Plakat x Giant Female Fancy Plakat
I am super happy with the outcome. They created several nice yellow bettas, and were quite large. Continued with Yellow Koi 02
Parents : Giant Male Tiger Plakat x Giant Female Fancy Plakat
I am super happy with the outcome. They created several nice yellow bettas, and were quite large. Continued with Yellow Koi 02
