Bettarazzi Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 Those terms refer to the degree of spread in the caudal Halfmoon = 180 degree spread Over halfmoon = more than 180 degrees Super delta = very nearly 180 degrees Delta = nowhere close to 180 degrees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peta Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 ohhh I'm glad someone asked that question. So it would seem I have two Super Delta's - Frankie and Gus are both 'nearly' at 180 degrees (actually I think Frankie maybe already - just have to get a good shoot of him so I can get someone else opinion ) .... and definately have one Delta as he's no where near being anything but :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callatya Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 There are official standards put out by the IBC (International Betta Congress) that give stricter definitions on what makes good ones, but essentially it is just the spread. The other thing is that they are all symmetrical tail types, so they have to be like slices of pie, the same on the top and the bottom. A VT or VTx can still have the spread of a delta or SD, or even a full 180*, but if it isn't symmetrical it isn't Delta, SD, or HM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuckie Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 there is a sticky with all these definitions in it. Try a search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
