Re: betta tail shape?

It looks like you've got a veil tail and he's probably under 1 year old.. maybe 8 months or so. How long ago did you get him & what pet store?

Re: betta tail shape?

I was going to say Veil tail, until I saw his ragged fins. It looks like he's either a veil tail with fin rot, or a Crown Tail. Or, perhaps a Veil tail/Crown tail cross?

Re: betta tail shape?

Good point Eskielvr.. maybe a picture of him higher up in the water where we could check his fins better would allow for a definite answer on if he has fin rot or not.

Re: betta tail shape?

The blue fish is a Delta not a Halfmoon.* If his fins were a Half Circle he would be a Halfmoon. The first little guy is a veiltail with a bad case of torn fins or finrot. They are both lovely fish and will be credits to their owners.

Re: betta tail shape?

I figured it was a commercial picture but wanted to correct the information about the finnage. In order for it to be a true Halfmoon it has to be at a perfect half circle. Less than a half circle is a Delta and over a half circle is classified as OHM or Over Halfmoon. Right now I actually have 2 Halfmoons (JT and Nate) and 2 OHM (Alexander and Marty Jr.), Demon will also be OHM.

Re: betta tail shape?

i think i'd hold off on treating him for fin rot. See if his fins change any. He sounds like he's ok from your description of the tips.

Re: betta tail shape?

He looks more like a Crown Tail in those pictures, and he looks healthy, also. Did you purchase him like that? Really, he looks nice. I really think he's a Crown Tail.

Re: betta tail shape?

From the way his fins are spread he's a crowntail. The pic you posted from Geosites is a crowntail. My RJ is DDR Crowntail. Here is a pic of him. He looked a lot different then what he looks like now. His fins have grown a lot since I got him. If I can I'll post a before pic now and an after pic later so you can see what they look like now. It's actually going to be in my previous post about him arriving.

http://www.fishlore.com/Forum/32-bet...arrived.0.html

I'll post more recent pics of him later. Like I said he has changed a lot in just the couple weeks that I've had him. it'll be 3 weeks tomorrow since I received him. Wow how time flies. I hope these pics help a little. His fins aren't spread out too much, but you can tell that he is a crowntail. Natalie
