Veiltail Betta Tail Split

Female double tail veiltail betta.

Veiltail betta tail split. The fish has two caudal lobes neither of which spread unusually wide and both of which are somewhat almond shaped. I m wondering what is wrong with my betta. She s a marble so i didn t worry about it.

They may be selected for a show fish or a breeding fish. Long tails come in different shapes such as veiled halfmoon and delta. About a week ago i thought she hurt herself on a tank decoration.

The veiltail betta or vt for short is the most common kind of tail that you ll find in any aquarioum and is what you ll see on most pet store varieties. In fact due to its popularity and over breeding veil tailed bettas are no longer seen as desirable or accepted on the show circuit. I did notice a dark blue almost black color forming on her belly and fins.

The feature which differentiates it from other types of bettas is its downward pointing tail kinda like a spadetail but larger longer and pointing downwards. Since then lots of new tissue had grown in repairing nearly everything except the split. I have a betta fish in a 3 5 gallon heated and filtered tank.

The caudal rays only split in two once before reaching the outer edge of the fin primary branching. He had fin rot a while ago which left him with his top fin split in three. But today both his bottom and back fins have split in two the top still split in three.

Identify a long tail length. Veiltail betta are one of the most common types of betta fish and one of the most popular types of pet fish. The female resembles a shortened version of the male s fins.
