Variety

Welcome!
Hi betta lovers!  Here I will list and roughly describe the types of bettas.  If you know a type that I don't, because I'm not a specialist or anything, then please tell me in a comment.  Enjoy!

  • Veiltail: extended finnage length and non-symmetrical tail; caudal fin rays usually only split once
  • Crowntail: fin rays are extended well beyond the membrane and consequently the tail can take on the appearance of a crown; also called fringetail
  • Combtail: less extended version of the crown tail, derived from breeding crown and another finnage type
  • Half-moon: caudal fin that forms a 180-degree spread; larger spreads are dubbed over half-moon
  • Short-finned fighting style: sometimes called "plakat," how their fins are in the wild (I think)
  • Double-tail: the tail fin is duplicated into two lobes and the dorsal fin is significantly elongated; the two tails can show different levels of bifurcation depending on the individual
  • Delta tail: tail spread less than that of a half-moon with sharp edges
  • Halfsun: Combtail with caudal fin going 180 degrees, like a halfmoon
  • Rosetail: halfmoon variation with so much finnage that it overlaps and looks like a rose
