Blue dragon possible?

Hey bros just want to know is it possible to create a blue dragon, and if so, how? Any experts on genetics care to share :p So far have not seen any at all yet, but really would love the looks of it :D TIA

Went to google.. and this is the most realistic one that I found. Others look abit photoshop.

Hmmm not really looking for this type but those true dragons with white body and blue fins :) Thanks anyway!

There was once someone on bettamalyasia forum who was selling blue dragon but didn't look healthy.Bro Khai knows about it too

imo, I think its hard though.. can have a try.

Hi bro, if im not wrong... its currently not possible to breed a blue dragon. ( Don't quote me on this though) ... If im not wrong a dragon has to have white thick masking scales covering the body and the fins to be blue to be considered a blue dragon. However due to gene pool limitations its not possible to my knowledge now..

Alright thanks for tthe response bro :) So what will i get , say i cross a full masked blue with a gold dragon? Sorry newbie still learning here :o

This would be a full green/blue masked lace betta

You're quite right. By theory, you can't have blue and white on the same fish as they are of the same color layer, unless marble genes is involved. But introduction of marble genes makes it highly unstable and hard to control

It doesn't work that way. With that kind of crossing you are likely to get mostly metallic green fishes
