crown tail bettas.
Male bettas have a long tail fin, and they are brightly colored; more so than the female which is a dull color. She has a short tail.
Bettas can be kept safely in a gallon or more, depending on how active he/she is. If you want your betta to be really happy, get a 5+ gallon tank. Any size gravel/rocks will work, and my betta seems to like the plants I added. Remember, bettas like roomy habitats.
they need length because if it is a crowntail those mostly can be pond fish if they are crown tail the length they need is around 1ft to 3 ft long and half a foot to 1ft deep
AnswerYes, there are diff. types of bettas. There are moontail, doubletail, crowntail, and many more. I don't know if any of them are harder to raise it is just what type u want and what you are willing to pay. Sometimes you can get some nice regular male or female bettas from your local pet store. My favorite types are the double-moon tail and the double-crown tail in the color of red/blue/yellow. My favorite color of bettas is yellow if it is bold other wise i like a mixture of blue and red. AnswerVeiltails are the best selection for a beginner. These are the ones sold in pet stores. They come in alot of different pretty colors and are not picky about their tanks or food.I used to raise Bettas on a commercial scale and had over 50,000 fish at one time. I kept numerous tail types including Plakat, Halfmoon, Halfmoon Plakat, DoubleTail, Double Tail Plakat, Spade Tail, Rose Tail, Delta, Super Delta, Fuse Tail and Fuse Fin.There are also Ribbon Tail, Crown Tail, King Crown Tail, Supreme King Crown Tail, and the Veiltails as I mentioned... but I did not raise these.None are harder to keep than the others... but breeding them is something else. Also, better-bred and show-quality fish can cost $50 or more. Most average $10 to $20 each, though some go much higher.I imported most of my stock from Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore.There are several hundred colors and color combinations. Miniature and Giant strains of bettas are also being perfected. Some Giants are sold now, but they are not usually 100% pure giant. They are mostly 50% to 75% giant blood.Males have long tails and are more expensive but prettier and last a long time. Girl betas are small to small and are cheaper they live the same amount of time and are not that pretty you can get them at the petstore and walmart.Answer:Veiltails are no better a beginner Betta than any other tail or fin type. Even Petco is starting to sell some of the more exotic tail types quite inexpensively. It's more a matter of what you like, as all the fancy Bettas are equally easy to care for.Aside from the fancy Betta splendens that are most commonly available, there are dozens of other Betta species that can be found. These are the wild types. Some are as easy to care for as fancy Bettas, and some are very difficult to keep. Go to http://www.ibcbettas.org for more information on both domestic and wild bettas.
They are exactly the same as all other Bettas in their food and accomodation requirements. Specialized Betta foods are available at most pet shops and in the better pet shops so are some suitable live foods (brine shrimp, daphnia etc) that you can give the fish as a weekly treat to vary its diet. In nature Bettas are insectivorous.
2 male Bettas can not be kept together. Crowntails are the same species (Betta splendens) the only difference is in the tail shape.
Yes, they are identical
No, but a betta can get fin rot, which can damage the fins and tail.
A male betta has a long flowing tail while a female has a short tail
well, for guppies, if the small fin under the tail fin is long and ribbony, its male. if its wide like a tetra's, its female. ( Its the same for bettas.)
Some common types of betta fish include crowntail, halfmoon, plakat, and double tail. These types vary in fin shape, coloration, and tail appearance. Each type has its own unique characteristics that make them popular among betta fish enthusiasts.
