Betta breed ideas?

[Kerryjoy]

I've got my little Betta who looked hopeless at the pet store, so I gave him a home. Wasn't 100% sure what bread he was, I'm thinking a Veiltail....his top fin looks a little crown like though .... any ideas to the professional eye?
I can do better pictures if it's hard to see, trouble is he is always shooting around the tank!!

He has grown quite abit the last month, but I'm guessing he has a lot more growing to do?

Not a veil tail or his tail would of tapered off to a point and became more droopy. Perhaps a super delta? Try getting a pic of him flaring with all his fins erect. He could be a mix of fin types but I can't say for sure

It's the top fin that gets me but like you say, maybe a mix? Any ideas?

I did look online and saw this which is very helpful, however I still couldn't work it out as his top fin is different

There are some other "sub categories" where fin types are crossed. Half suns and comb tails are a few of them. I think he resembles a half sun, which is part crown tail and part half moon.

You might want to hold a mirror up to his tank to get him to flare, it's easier to compare that pictures that way

I am guessing that he is a halfmoon.
