I purchased this female today, she was simply labeled as a female betta, however. I was wondering what she is? I can’t really determine if she is a plakat or a delta. She is a very docile betta.

I would say a delta tail, just like mine. (The fish in my avatar. Mine is a male, but it's the same tail shape)

There's a possibility it's a plakat, but not likely. Plakat's tend to have a more rigid tail.

crowntail. A plakat betta wouldn't have the little points at the tail edge.:)
Not exactly true. There are lots of tail variants that have points along the edge, that aren't crowntails; Delta, Combtail, Half moon, Plakat, etc.

I'm assuming this fish is from a Petco, PetSmart, or a chain retailer. you are most commonly going to find A VT or CT female betta fish. in some cases (mostly kois) you can find a plakat.
sorry, I was just making it easy for the OP.:/
 
Thanks for all the responses lol, I could slightly agree with the veil tail type. When she swims her lower fin does go to a point at the end, however when it sticks straight out it more resembles a delta or a plakat. The only issue I have with her being a plakat is she is seemingly non aggressive, idk if the plakat aggression thing is true for all plakats. I have a picture of her tail pointed while she swims and a pick of it not pointed while she is still.

It isn't entirely true:)
I figured, I think I’ve probably settled on an HMPK female. I’ve gone through many videos and photos of this breed. Her tail fin does stretch out to a considerable amount that isn’t shown in my pictures. Not to mention my local pet store is kind of notorious for selling halfmoons and plakats. I’ll probably have to ask them who their breeder is, it’s not a big chain store type of place. It’s more of a family owned pet store?

Hard to tell from the photos if she’s a HMPK. Just from her body shape, she doesn’t look like one.
