Here are some of my new boys, asked lfs to get me a few moontails and he got me these, wanted £7.95 each for them, poor sods were floating in a bag of water in a tank of guppies, could not leave one behind so got him down to £13 for both.

Daughter bought herself a marbley one and saw him floating looking really distressed. Offered the guy a quid for him and bought him home for me. I am quiet excited about this little guy and really like him - what tail do we think he was and will grow back?

Daughters marbley one.
 
Hope they all are well in there new home

i really want some more But got no where to keep them
 
Same problem here, the marble one really needs a new home cos he was not expected lol.
 
the rescue is definatly a 'moontail.I think the proper term is halfmoon by the way :lol: lovely guys thoguh.7.95 wasnt that bad depending on the quality.
 
They could also be referred to as delta tails or superdelta, depending on the spread. Halfmoons are really semicircular tails, these are slightly less. Not sure about the marble one though, looks more like a vt, the way its fins hang down, but would need a better pic. Lovely fish all of them though. ;)
 
They are all beautifal :wub: . The rescue of yours is a Superdelta by the looks of things and the marble def looks like a veil to me. They are nice finds, your so lucky

Edit: what shop was it you got the HM's from hun?
 
The HM were from Tranquility in Chadwell Heath, Essex. Was hoping the rescue guy was a SD, he really has potential just gotta give him TLC to get the tail back again. Thank you all for looking at them :)
