lpiasente Posted May 18, 2008 Report Posted May 18, 2008 I found this little boy about 6weeks ago in a tank wth 12 other girls. He was laying on the floor of the tank half dead and getting beaten. Well I knew if I left him there he would die as the very experienced shop owner wouldn't listen that he was a boy. Anyway with lots of tlc and good food he pulled through. He has started sprouting and now he has little spikes growing from his fins. Is he a young crown tail?
splendidbetta Posted May 18, 2008 Report Posted May 18, 2008 Looks like a comb tail VT, roundtail or delta
Anasfire Posted May 18, 2008 Report Posted May 18, 2008 Looks a lot like my first successful spawn. Dad was CT, Mum was VT ended up with VT's with combtailing.
Bettarazzi Posted May 18, 2008 Report Posted May 18, 2008 He's got the fringeing on all the unpaired fins and it looks pretty even at the moment. The combtail ray extensions can be very nice when they're even. I think combtails get a bad rap pretty unfairly. To classify as crowntail the webbing between the rays has to be reduced by a third of the fin length.
lpiasente Posted May 18, 2008 Author Report Posted May 18, 2008 I actually thought he was a vt when I got him as that was what the girls were he was with. I was surprised when the spikes started to appear. He is very cute and soooo tiny whatever he is. Thanks y'all
y2jdaze Posted May 18, 2008 Report Posted May 18, 2008 yep i'd say he's definitely a combtail, with any luck he might turn out to be something like my avatar boy when he grows up but maybe without the spread my boy has, more vt-ish and maybe not have as much webbing reduction as mine, try to keep him healthy and exercise him, take few flaring pics :)
