bettasbest Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 Hello Everyone, I noticed that my VT females and male are much larger than the HM females and male that i currently have, i have spoken to one other girl and its the same in her case. Is this normal? Are all VT's larger than other tail types? Julie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delyall Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 I believe it doesnt have to do with tail types, but breeding... like we get some tall people or short people... but I might be wrong :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbies Betta Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 I think that they could just be older, as most LFS stock is not exactly young stock. and I've also noticed that yes, VT's do tend to be a bit larger in size. but I guess this also comes down to not so much select breeding (like how feral cats seem larger than normal cats) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bettasbest Posted May 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 @ Robbies Betta - the hm guy i have is at least 9 months old and he is tiny in comparison to the VT male i have and i just got 2 hm females which are also alot smaller than my vt females - and i know one of those is at least 4 months old @ delyall - maybe it is the breeding i will have to see when my other males come in how their size compares I do love the big robust look of my VT!
