Betta Series 101: Tail types

Betta Fish Tail Types:

Siamese Fighting Fish "Betta Fish" are well known for their attractive tails but do you know all the different betta tail types out there?

Veiltail- The Veiltail is by far the most common tail type for betta. To recognize it look for a long, flowing, downwards swooping tail.

Crowntail- Named because of the long spikey crown appearance of the fins.

Doubletail- Recognized as it possesses two distinct tails which are separated at the base.

Halfmoon- The halfmoon tail is large and when flared will fan 180º. This causes the tail to create a half circle shape just like a half moon.

Plakat- Generally speaking the term Plakat betta is used to describe short finned betta fish. The tail is short and round on the traditional Plakat.

Dumbo Ear- Not strictly a "tail" type. Dumbo ear bettas have extra-large pectoral fins which results in these fins looking like elephant ears.
