Double tail betta fish

We all have the concept of how a beautiful betta but the purpose of this article is to introduce standards mark of IBC . Remember that with a superficial ideal fish, whether single or dual tail tail, three unpaired fins will make a seamless way without gaps. The width of the dorsal fin in large often double than single fin. Double dorsal fin, ideally, is the symmetric image of the anal fin.

 

Bettas usually double the width of the body (the distance from the back to the stomach) is larger than the single fin. Body thickness is also acceptable as long as it supports for supporting the enormous fins.

The number of caudal fin rays in upper lobe and right lower lobe equivalent and distributed evenly across the center line. Width to length ratio. Lobes on the right lower lobe of equivalent size and symmetry through the center. Two lobes of the tail can be stacked up but must be separated until the base of the tail.

• General shape of both lobes of the tail is ideal semicircle.
• Dual fish tail fin many differences for the application:
• There are two tail lobes instead of one, they are completely separate to the base of the tail.
• Broader base of the tail to lift two lobes of the tail.
• Large dorsal fin, equivalent to the size of the anal fin.
• There is a wide body and short.
• Curvature at the base of the tail vary depending on each individual DT. Observed from above will see this more clearly. 
• The tail is curved too much error in the dual fin, if not too curved, can be ignored.

The final score is based on the greater or lesser degree of fault.

• Error in body
• Too short and fat body (slight fault)
• Convex or peduncle very curved (fault)

Error in the dorsal

• Dorsal fin slightly narrower anal (minor fault)
• Dorsal fin with few rays short at the front, not like anal (minor fault)
• The dorsal fin is too narrow for anal (fault)

Error in the tail

• Tail lobe to but not completely split - split over three-quarters (slight fault)
• Tail lobes somewhat irregular (fault)
• Tail lobes separated from ½ to ¾ (fault)
• Tail lobe irregular in size or shape (fault)
• Tail lobes are small but (fault)
• Caudal lobe about half or less of separation (fault)
• Small and irregular tail lobe (fatal error)

Although the appearance of of halfmoon completely overwhelms double tail fish, but in my opinion, the double fish tail puppy and balance with stacked fins when flaring looks great!
