Tail & Anal Fin, connected??????

[Kara101584]

This new Betta I got tonight is just filling my head with all sorts of new questions.

I've now noticed that his Anal fin and his Tail are connected at the base of his body. I don't have a picture at the moment, he's stressed enough he doesn't need a flash in his face. But I've never seen anything like this before, anyone else?

sometimes if they have big fins it may seem like the 2 fins are connected but they really arnt. get ur fish to flare and send us a pic, if ur fish's fins are the way you say they are im very curious to check him out, is he a veil tail?

I wanna see too. I've heard of the fused fin that infant mentioned, but I've never seen it. Get that boy to flarin'!

I had a veiltail whose caudal and anal fins were fused, but just barely... I've heard of fish whose caudal fins are completely fused with both the dorsal and anal fins, but I've never actually seen it

He looks like a Veil Cross with something else, no clue... He's a strange looking guy. His tail isn't like anything I've seen, and he almost has spots to his coloring??

Here's a picture, what do you guys think?

P.S. I named him Fuse. !

That's exactly the way the fins of the fish I had looked! Weird
