It's just a type of Betta Spenden that are bred to look like that (because your not going to find a beautiful bright blue Crowntail in the wilds of Asia) Some characteristics would be that they look like their tails were cut into little prongs (not literally) and if you buy them at a pet store, the label may specify whether or not it's a crowntail and if you are unsure if you have a Crowntail or not, just ask the nearest employee at the store. They'll most likely know if it is or not.
Male crowntail bettas have the large finns commonly associated with the betta fish with a small difference in the edges of the tail. Females have very very short fins with the crowntail edges
First of all, they're BOTH bettas. 2. if they're both males that's just animal cruelty. Some people....
Yes, crowntail females can mate with halfmoon males, and vice versa. Any type of betta can mate with any another type. Veiltails with halfmoons, deltas with crowntails, etc. But most people prefer to breed bettas with their own type because they plan to sell them, and most people don't want "mutts". They can also keep the coloration, finnage, and physical characeteristics of the betta type. It is much easier to sell these purebred bettas. If you planning on breeding the crowntail and halfmoon and selling, I highly suggest that you reconsider this. Get a two quality bettas (same type) from a good breeder. Enjoy your fish!
They are generally less than $3 in most chain pet stores. Unless you want a crowntail or halfmoon female betta, those will run between $8-$12.
no. Bettas are to be kept separate, unless they're all female and you give them plenty of territorial space. Beta+ other beta= fight/death/severely injured sick fish
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
They would not fight anyway. Male Bettas will only fight with male Bettas. The Convict Cichlid is a much larger fish than the Betta and has a much larger mouth in proportion too than the Betta so I would assume that if they were to fight the Betta would not stand a chance.
Crowntail, Veitail, and Halfmoons.
The body colour in the Cambodian is always pale pink regardless of the fin colours. The ordinary Betta has the same colour in both the fins and the body.
Many breeders of fish in Tropical Asia are constantly cross breeding fish and developing new strains so they can have a "special type" and charge extra money for it/them. What it boils down to, is there are dozens of names and different fin shapes but they are all the same species Betta splendens.
A crowntail is a beta fish with a teardrop-shaped fan tail. The tail of a crowntail beta distinguishes it from other betas. The crowntail is a Siamese fighting fish that grows to 1.5-inches in length.
Boy bettas have really big fins and are very colorful, and girl bettas are pretty much the opposite!
