I've been wondering if Draco is a VT, can they be mixed or a cross between a VT and another tail type? His tail shape seems a little different to me, reminds me a little of some of the delta tail pictures I have seen, but it still seems long for that. What do you think?

I need to get a pic of him with his tail spread all the way out, but it looks in the middle between a VT and a delta to me just looking at the pictures of the tail types.
 
He's kinda odd, I can't get him to flare easily. I put a mirror up and he will run and go look at it and be very curious, and he definitely spreads his tail/fins more, but doesn't actually flare. Still, I got some better pics of his tail because he does seem to expand his fins and tail more when he sees his reflection:

I'd say delta/vt cross.

If you look at the upper half of his tail, the rays still curve down a bit.

For him to be a true delta, you should be able to draw a horizontal line through the center of his tail and have it be symmetrical on both sides.
 
That's kind of what I was guessing, but wasn't quite sure if there could be "mixes". I did notice the curviture like you said, but the tail definitely looked a bit different from Orion's and other VTs I've seen. I think he has a beautiful tail though, it's what so attracted me about him :)
 
Without seeing him fully flared fins to the max you cant exactaly say what he is...MM
 
regaudless of delta or hm he does carry some comb tail...if his rays get longer possibly single ray crowntail. MM
