'Double Tail' Siamese fighting fish/ Betta fish!

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.
