crowntail thread this question was answerwed a few days ago.

 

[wrs]

First of all I may ask stupid questions because I cant see your betta, so i pic would help, but.....

1. Does your bettas tell have little marks like at an end of a crown.

2. Is it more "thick" at the tell ends or a whole bunch of fine strands.

3. Is there definite markings of branches.

my links arent working for some reason. just type crowntail and combtail in a search engine and you will get pics.

 

[Neoman]

so my betta would be a combtail right? Here is his pic.

 

[jacblades]

i think your betta may be a very poor crowntail but it is somehwere inbetween.

 

[Neoman]

does anyone know what that bump on his side is?

 

[jacblades]

might be a tumor. not sure though.

My fiance's betta Apollo has bulges kinda like that on both his sides. I think it's because he's extremely active and uses his tail to propel him a lot. For some reason he loves the current in the 5gal tank he's in and the rest of his body is pretty cut.. for a fish. The other bettas we have don't have the bulges, but then again they don't like to excercise as much either. Does your betta seem extremely active?

Also, I think that's kinda mean to say.

 

[jacblades]

why is that mean? it is what it is. just because its tail has a poorly formed crowntail, doesnt make it ugly.

So the the longer the "fringes," the better quality CT?

 

[jacblades]

not necessarily-if the "fringes" arent for the most part even, it is a poorly formed ct. the link i put up (that deosnt work) had a pic of a fabulous combtail with teeny "fringes" i will see if i can find another good example of an outstanding combtail.
