What kind of tail does my betta have?

[PA_fishlover]

We have a female betta and I'm not sure if she is a veiltail, crowntail, or what. The picture is not the greatest, but you can definitely see her fins and tail. Even when she is flared, they are very pointy like they are in this picture.

Looks like a veil tail to me, like all the other females I've seen. Not positive though... where'd you get her?

I got her at a LFS that sells VT and CT bettas. I tend to think she's a VT also.

Hi there! Cute fish! To find out what type of betta she is you need to count the rays on her tail. They are the fine lines that start at the base & split at the end of her tail.

(If you don't know what I mean here's a good website to check out - Betta Splendens - Half Moon, Double Tail, Crown Tail Bettas -)

A VT has 2 rays & looks like a sideways Y. CT's have a Y but with branches off each of the lines making them 4 rays. If you really can't tell post a clearer pic of her tail & I will try to figure it out for you.

BTW, I am also thinking VT without seeing the rays!
