Tanker Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 I think we bought a lyre tail betta, but is that even a type? It's got a tail that is basically two perfectly formed 'swords' exactly as a lyre tail molly would have. It's not the classic double tail I have seen pic of, as those tend to have 'rounded' lobes from my observations. Bought at Pisces in Calgary, and they charged us regular veil tail price for him. I figured he was going to be the same price as the crown tail we picked up at the same time, but surprisingly no. I'll get a picture up tonight of him, but I wanted to toss this out there first, for suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toirtis Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 I have not seen one like that...is his tail perhaps just damaged? If you are really interested in finding out, contact the IBC ( http://www.ibcbettas.org/ )and someone there will know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kat Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 HI ALL! I am a new member with quite a lot of experience in the betta world,...,I think this is a Veil tail double tail, and that is why it has the thinner, more pointed lobes, and aslo why it was sold as a veil tail. PLease refer to my introduction on the new members page. Love reading all of your experiences!!!! Hopefully I will be able to add something helpful once in a while!!

Tanker Posted July 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 Here are a couple shots I have of him playing with his neighbor. The fins are not damaged in any way, and this is a 'natural' thing for him, as the coloring goes 'with' the fins. These are snaps from a video I took... sorry for the 'less than pro' quality.
