This Goes To Show!

this shows how much finnage an average betta has, now I see why they start to finbite

 

[pablothebetta]

Sure that's an average amount? For which type? I don't see many bettas with that sort of finnage unless they're HMs...

 

[Fishy friend2]

that typically what I meant, just forgot to type in HM, even thoug its not an HM

 

[pablothebetta]

Oh Okay

 

[HannahBear77]

Their just trimming it, like we trim our hair when it gets to long lol

It must get pretty annoying having to drag those heavy fins around as well

 

[Cazgar]

The lady in my Lfs likened it to dragging a heavy blanket around with you all the time

 

[Fishy friend2]

Yeah, he will often be seen like that, he hasnt started tailbitng yet though, the plastic in his other tank ripped his fins, thats why they are so short, they are usually about a half inch, to an inch longer

A wild splendens need not deal with those fins. That is just what we have done to them through selective breeding. A wild looks a lot more like a plakat, which is a bit closer to the wild.

My newest boy is I think a plakat & is much more active than my others which are veil tails & a crowntail.
He swims around the tank a lot & hardly ever rests on the plants like the others.
If I get any more they'll be the shorter finned varieties
