Colors and appearance

As an appearance, Betta foerschi body base color is black with a red bar on the cheeks. Females have golden stripes on their bodies. The thing is not to define the gender of the betta.

Fully grown adult males have annual fins and the caudal fin is larger than the female, very similar to the mandor except for a slightly smaller slimmer body and finnage.

Like many other complex species, females have vertical stripes on the body, and the bar is also visible when they are ready to breed. A male has a more vibrant color than a female.

Breeders develop different varieties of finnage and scale:

Ø Veil tail – the most common tail type seen in aqua or pet stores. uneven tail and expand finagle length; caudally fin ray split into two parts.

Ø Crowntail – Fin rays are constantly increased and make a large crown.

Ø Combtail – Mini version of the crown tail, combination of veil tail and crown tail·

Ø Half Moon – the edges of the tail are straight and crisp; 80 degree rotated in a D shape creates a shape of the moon·

Ø Over-Halfmoon or Super Delta Tail – Caudal fin expands 180° angle (a derived breed version of the half-moons), which can be problematic to betta during the swim time because it’s difficult to swim with big fin·

Ø Rosetail – fold and crisp overlap finagle overlap with each other which resembles a rose petal so it’s called a rose tail.

Ø Feather tail – same as rosetail, also a rough look of the rosetail, some crisp and freeze.

Ø Plakat – Usually seen in wild bettas Short fins known as biting fish

Ø Halfmoon plakat –; plakat and half-moon cross, short finned halfmoon

Ø Double tail or Full-moon – two lobes enlarged, tail and dorsal fin is duplicated; individual identity displayed by caudal and twin tail·

Ø Delta tail – tail is not extended as a half-moon, or less extended than 180 degrees.

Ø Half-Sun – Like a half moon, rotate the fin in 180° look like a Combtail
