Olly Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 What is the difference between a halfmoon betta and a veiltail betta that has a wide tail? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ally07 Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 A half moon is literally half a full circle.. Thus it would be like a capital 'D' shape.. A veiltail with a wide tail would not make a full 'D' shape, it would be more of a 160 degree angle rather than a full 180 degree angle.. Hope my explanations made sense lol..

ally07 Posted November 8, 2008 Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 LoL! If a full moon existed then you wouldn't see a fish, you'd just see a perfect circle of tail fin bwahaha... :lol: If you successfully breed a full moon, I'd be your first customer!

Olly Posted November 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 How can I get him to flare so I can get a decent photo of him? This is as good photos as I've been able to get so far. He hasn't flared since I put him in the tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olly Posted November 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 if I bred him to a veiltail (VT?) female, what would the offspring be --> VT or HM? same for a CT female --> HM or CT or VT? for a HM female, what proportion of the offspring are likely to turn out HM? how much is a halfmoon female going to cost me?
