Bought this betta yesterday. It was labelled a "male rountail" I would like to know if it is indeed a male and what kind is it?

yes its a male, its a cross from a pk and another hm or sd, the tail is too long to be full pk and the ventrals too, he doesnt seem to have the edges of a true pk either, it could be classed as a roundtail but they tend to be longer in the tail that your fish, so i would call it sdpk or he might be hmpk if when he flares he reaches 180 degrees

Thank you so much for your quick reply.

Glad to know it is a male....

The fish is quite young yet, so as it grows I am sure he will change.

The tail does get fuller when he flares at the other fish.

Stupid question here, what is a sdpk??

I know the plakat but what is sd??

Thanks again.....

 

[modaz]

sd is superdelta which is the tail that doesnt quite make halfmoon when in full flare

That is what someone else told me too. They said it was a young male "Dragon Plalak" (should that not be spelled Plakat??
Plalaks have wild type finnage with fancy color. Dragons have the silver body scales like this one. Body shape and strong colors indicate a male.

He was not cheap, found him at a local store here. There was two of them, but this one had much nicer color and fins, there was only the two of them. I paid $16.00 CDN for this fish........

Thanks for your reply
