TYPE OF TAILS

[yeeviabetta]

Dr Chia, You tell me, I don't know what you called them. What is a crown moon and who invent the name? I heard halfsun before. Actually I cross-breed it myself as an experiment. Father is a turquoise halfmoon (with doubletail geno and will throw out 25%) and mother is a MG/yellow copper crowntail. They all are in the post "babies betta for you".


Prize? I don't know what is the right answer yet. hahahaha

Below picture is a nother one that very close to 180 degree. Need some more time in jar him up will get to that.

This one has longer tail. Don't know which catagory now.

 

[yossie_ika]

Im confused....which one's best for me....they are all lovely

 

[SRC]

Hard to decide...I have one of each. So to be fair to all my guys I guess I'd have to say...

a half-crown-veil-delta-moon tail

Hi Yeeviabetta,

If its caudial spread remains at less than 180 degrees like a Delta Tail, it's a Half Sun. I believe the Thais were the ones who developed and named this caudial strain.

More recently, the Half Sun tail form was futher developed into a Half Moon variety and the Crown Moon was born. So, if the caudial spread develops to 180 degrees like a Half Moon, it's a Crown Moon. Like the guys in the following URL.

Edit: Personally, I find these new names interesting, refreshing but confusing. What should the Over Half Moon variety be called? Over Crown Moon? Crown Sun? Sun Moon?

i didn't vote, i like em all, and there are a crap load of less familiar varietys that you have failed to mention

 

[yeeviabetta]

Hi D Chia. Thanks for the great informations and I never know that. So crownmoon is the latest one. Do you know in what year they have those?
I do agreed with those over hm. What you going to call them too. Over crownmoon? How about more rays in a spike? Are they going to call it spikymoon, punkymoon or forkymoon?
Anyway, I have a new plan breeding another pair of crowntail and halfmoon now. OK. Will see it is going to happen or not. Oh yes, do you call this is a hybrid or still in developing breeding betta? I heard people saying that is is bad to cross breeding. I have see no harm in halfmoon plakat and they make the betta looks better. What will happen if a halfmoon male breed with a female veiltail? What you call them? Delta?
Interesting huh? LOL

[yeeviabetta]

Yossie. you know me. LOL I am in fineart too.

I have two female crown for breeding but only one male crown. Maybe I should let a halfmoon and female crown mate and see what happens.

 

[yeeviabetta]

Why not! Ral. Breed it. I am planning on my pure copper crowntail female with red sulthasine male halfmoon. Opps. I spills is out, yossie. LOL Do keep up date and see how the outcome is. Ral, what color is the crowntail female and the halfmoon?

 

[ral]

The females I have a steel blue one and a royal blue one. The halfmoons, same one steel blue (alotugh this one is one of my pets) and a royal blue one.

My worry is I might come up with fish no one will want

My firt attemp at breeding... crown to crown resulted in no eggs

 

[newfishies]

i'm sure you could find homes for babies..if only you weren't so far away!

 

[yeeviabetta]

You will get royal blue, steel and green too. The tail will be cute like my babies. Tells them they are crownmoon. LOL Like hm plakat but got rays.

 

[yeeviabetta]

Don't think too much. just do it. Besides you still can breed the female in 3 weeks. B)
