‘HALF MOON’ Siamese fighting fish/ Betta fish!
The ‘HALF MOON’ tail shape is a large tail fin that forms a 180 degree half circle.
The caudal fin spreads off the caudal peduncle at 160-180 degrees and the rays must be of even length. The anal fin on the ‘half moon’ is usually extended.
To find a ‘true’ ‘half moon’ Betta fish/ Siamese fighting fish is difficult and can be very expensive!

DELTA TAIL, Siamese fighting fish/ Betta fish!!
Welcome to the world of the Siamese Fighting Fish. Free tips about keeping Siamese fighting fish. Lots of Siamese fighting fish news and much much more on Siamese fighting fish, your Home and family pet’s home.
Siamese Fighting Fish ‘Delta Tail’
You get three types of ‘DELTA TAIL’.
The first one is the ordinary ‘Delta Tail’ and this is where the tail is in the shape of a delta coming off of the caudal peduncle.
The spread is measured in degrees and varies from 50-70 degrees. The tail span is less than ‘half moon’ with sharp edges.
You also get the ‘super delta tail’ which is a wider form of the ‘delta tail’ and the spread of the caudal fin here is from70-120 degrees.
The third one is the ‘ultra delta tail’ which is an even more glorified version of the first one. Here the caudal fin spread can be between 120-160 degrees.
Many fascinating times once you really get into breeding your Siamese fighting fish.

'Double Tail' Siamese fighting fish/ Betta fish!
Welcome to the world of the Siamese Fighting Fish. Free tips about keeping Siamese fighting fish. Lots of Siamese fighting fish news and much much more on Siamese fighting fish, your Home and family pet’s home.
A ‘Double Tail’ Betta fish!
The ‘DOUBLE TAIL’ Betta fish/ Siamese fighting fish is a very beautiful tail type.
The caudal fin is split in the middle, producing two caudal peduncles and what are referred to as tail lobes (fins).
True ‘double tails’ should have an even split right to the body and have two caudal peduncles. The dorsal fin on a ‘double tail’ is significantly elongated.
Sometimes breeders will combine the ‘double tail’ with any of the ‘delta tails’ or ‘half moon’ type tails.
Be careful of breeding ‘double tails’ to ‘double tails’ as this could produce fish with short bodies and spinal deformities, because of the twin caudal peduncles.

Siamese fighting fish. Different tail types!
Welcome to the world of the Siamese Fighting Fish. Free tips about keeping Siamese fighting fish. Lots of Siamese fighting fish news and much much more on Siamese fighting fish, your Home and family pet’s home.
Siamese Fighting Fish/ Betta Fish—Different Tail Types!
I have been asked if I could explain the different and various tail types of the Siamese fighting fish/ Betta fish. So, over the next couple of posts I will tell you about the various types of tails that you can get when you buy your Siamese fighting fish.
The VEIL TAIL! As I have already said in one of my previous articles, the veil tail is what you would usually find in most pet stores and most homes.
This is the most common of the tail types.
The tail is long and thin and usually tapers to a point. It’s a non-symmetrical tail (only 2 rays)
The gene for the veil tail is dominant and is very hard to breed out of a line.
Our ‘Samurai’ is a veil tail Siamese fighting fish.

Siamese fighting fish/ Betta fish have nostrils!!
Welcome to the world of the Siamese Fighting Fish. Free tips about keeping Siamese fighting fish. Lots of Siamese fighting fish news and much much more on Siamese fighting fish, your Home and family pet’s home.
Smell, touch and feel?
Your Betta fish/ Siamese fighting fish can smell! Most fish can smell!
Most fish have nostrils!
In these nostrils are sensors that can detect odors in the water and this sends signals to their brain.
You have probably heard or seen on TV that sharks can detect blood from other fish or humans, over long distances. Well, the same goes for your Siamese fighting fish.
Fish also use their sense of smell to detect the smell that females emit. This detection of the female scent is said to signal the ‘willingness’ to breed!
Touching and feeling things is done with sensory receptors that stimulate the senses of touch and feel. What your fish actually feels is not sure.
Our ‘Samurai’ often comes up to the top of the tank for what seems like a ‘cuddle’ when I put the tip of my finger in the water. Maybe it’s just to say ‘hello’.

Eye can see you!
Welcome to the world of the Siamese Fighting Fish. Free tips about keeping Siamese fighting fish. Lots of Siamese fighting fish news and much much more on Siamese fighting fish, your Home and family pet’s home.
Eye can see you incredibly well!!
Have you ever been diving or snorkeling, or to a very large aquarium?
Did you notice how the fish follow you with their eyes!
Well, your Betta fish/ Siamese fighting fish can see you incredibly well!
Due to the placing of their eyes on their body, fish see better than humans. Their peripheral viewing field is always 360 degrees with just a small blind spot.
Their eyes are similar to human’s eyes. They have a cornea, iris, retina and lens.
Their retina allows them to reflect light, and their lens can move back and forward, which allows them to see both far and near.
Their underwater vision allows them to see at great depth and distance.
This remarkable vision comes in handy because they are able to see any predators before they become lunch.
Your Siamese fighting fish/ Betta fish can also see in color!
Our ‘Samurai’ watches us all the time and he follows our movements, quite amazing!

They can hear you!
Betta fish/ Siamese fighting fish have ‘Ears’!
Yes, their ears are not the same as our human ears, but are ears nonetheless.
Their ears are located behind the skin, near their eyes.
They look like a small opening. In fact they are ‘internal ears’. These are covered with sensory hairs that are designed to detect sound.
Your Siamese fighting fish hears via sound waves. When the sound moves through the water it makes vibrations. This vibration from the sound waves stimulates the skin and ears of your fish. In doing so, a fish uses it’s body to hear as well as it’s ‘internal ears’.
A fluid filled tube that is very sensitive to water pressure is called the ‘lateral line’. When the water pressure builds the ‘lateral line’ sensors react and build pressure in the organ and this causes the fish to ‘hear’ or react to the pressure.
Try never to tap on the tank of your Betta fish, because the sound waves are multiplied 5 times through the tank. Ouch, that will hurt!!
