crdave Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 I was reading another thread and someone mentioned combtails. Can anyone describe the difference between these and proper crowntails Cheers,Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishchick Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 the early "crowntails" were delta tails with the rays extending a little way past the webbing. This was a new development and christened "comb tail". You sometime get these when you cross CT with VT. The IBC initially classed these types of fish as "fringe finned" With a lot of work the combtail was developed into the stunning crossray CT you see today. Aint genetics grand? :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuckie Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 what has been achieved with CTs is just magnificent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figure_8 Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 one of my first bettas was a combtail... I'll have a hunt around and see if there are still some pics of him hiding on my computer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figure_8 Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 all the pics I had of my original one were blurry but I did manage to find a couple of Pig - a combtail my kids had a couple of years ago... the images aren't the best, but they should give a general idea.

Leela Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 My little pink/red guy 'Haro' is a combtail. Basically he just has the normal vt tail, with slight ray extension on the ends. Not the amount that Mousie's Pig has. I would get a pic, but after he recovered from columnaris last year, all the combing disappeared in his regrowth. Weird! :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figure_8 Posted May 28, 2006 Report Share Posted May 28, 2006 I forgot to say that the first pic was Pig at almost full flare.. he had no ray strength what so ever & more resembled a curtain tassel at flare than a ct He was a pretty pet for my kids though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
