beta fish

Betta Fish, also known as Siamese Fighting Fish, are one of the most popular freshwater fish for pets. You can find them in almost every pet store. One of the reasons that they're so popular is that they come in a variety of colors, patterns, and tail variations.

Though with so many Betta Fish types out there, how can you figure out which ones are considered to be the most beautiful?

Here we've compiled a list of the ten most beautiful types of Betta Fish. To see what we picked, scroll down to the list below!

1). Veil Tail

While this may be one of the most common types of Betta Fish that you'll find in pet stores, this Betta Fish is not common in its beauty.

The Veil Tail Betta Fish has long and flowing anal and dorsal fins. This gives the Betta the appearance of swimming with a pretty veil behind it.

2). Rosetail

The Rosetail Betta Fish has exaggerated branching of the rays on their fins and tail, giving its tail the appearance of petals. In this case, rose petals in particular.

This type of Betta Fish is usually comes in multicolored patterns, often giving its tail an ombre effect.

When it swims in its tank, it looks like a flower floating through the water.

3). Delta Tail

Another common but beautiful type of Betta Fish is the Delta Tail Betta Fish.

It has a tail that is similar in shape to the Greek letter "d," thus the name.

The tail and fins flare when it swims. It looks like it is surrounded by colorful fans as it glides through its environment.

4). Crown Tail

This type of Betta Fish has one of the most intense appearances out of the ten on our list.

The Crown Tail Betta Fish has little to no webbing between the extended rays of its fins and tail. This makes it look like it is covered in spikes.

It has a cool, edgy look — the punk rocker of Betta Fish.

5). Half Moon

The Half Moon Betta Fish is another popular type of Betta Fish.

The tail is a calmed down version of the Rosetail Betta Fish, and has a similar shape to the Delta Tail Betta Fish. It also has a ruffled look to its tail, but less like petals and more like cloth.

The tail has a curve and fullness to it that is reminiscent to a half-moon.

6). Combtail

The Combtail Betta Fish is one of the more interesting Betta Fish on our list.

It is a type of Betta Fish that cannot be found in the wild and can only be produced by selective breeding.

The Combtail shares some aesthetic features with the Crown Tail Betta Fish. It has a spiky appearance but with more webbing between the long rays.

7). Double Tail

Without doubt, one of the most unique types of Betta Fish on our list is the Double Tail Betta Fish.

Unlike other Betta Fish, the Double Tail Betta Fish is breed with a special genetic trait that causes its tail to grow in two lobes instead of one, creating two tails.

 

The enlarged double tails cause this Betta Fish to have a shorter body than normal, giving it a cute appearance.

8). Half Sun

The award for having the most dramatic tail on our list goes to the Half Sun Betta Fish.

This type of Betta Fish has tail rays that extend past the webbing of the caudal fin. It looks like a mix between a Combtail Betta Fish and a CrownTail Betta Fish.

Having one in your fish tank looks like you took a miniature sun and put it in water. Especially if you get a yellow or orange one.

9). Spade Tail

As the name suggests, this type of Betta Fish has a pointed tail in the shape of a spade.

Out of all the Bettas on our list, this is one of the easiest to recognize in pet stores.

While the Spade Tail Betta Fish might not get you much luck at cards, its smooth shape is pleasing to the eye and looks good in any home aquarium.

10). Round Tail

Probably one of the rarest types of Betta Fish on our list, you might have to go a speciality pet shop or find a breeder to buy a Round Tail Betta Fish.

The Round Tail Betta Fish has a rounded tail that has a similar shape to the Delta Tail Betta Fish, but it has no straight edges near the ends to give it that same 'd' shape. It is a flat circular tail , like a coin.

It comes in lots of colors and patterns, making a great aesthetic addition to any home fishtank.

There Are Lots of Beautiful Types Betta Fish out There!

Because of the popularity of the breed, there are always new types of Betta fish being breed. You may go to the pet store and find a Betta that doesn't exactly fall into any of the types we mentioned. You never know what kind of beautiful fish you'll encounter with Betta Fish!

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post Posted: 05 Jun 2016 12:00 AM PDT With exacting precision, the surgeon inserted the scalpel above the eyeball and cut out a snotty deposit of fatty tissue. The routine eye-lift was nearly complete when suddenly the patient awoke, suffocating, and began to flop about on the table. The audience gasped. Knowing time was of the essence, the surgeon scooped up the patient in his arms, raced across the stage, and dropped her into a tank of water. She revived. Because she was a fish. Yes, fish eye-lifts exist. As do fin jobs and tail tucks. The operating theater was a mall in Jakarta, Indonesia, where a pet expo was under way. As for the patient, she survived, her formerly droopy eyes now bright and perky. A good thing, too, as this was no ordinary goldfish but rather an Asian arowana, the world's most expensive aquarium denizen, rumored to sell for as mu...

Catching Dory: selling aquarium fish supports coastal livelihoods in Indonesia | npj Ocean Sustainability - Nature.com

Abstract The global marine aquarium trade has created new local markets across the planet, including in Indonesia, now the second-largest exporting country of marine aquarium fish in the world. Participating in the global aquarium trade has been touted as a potentially sustainable addition to fisher livelihoods, but scant data exist showing the numbers of fish coming off the reef and how those fish contribute to income. To determine how participants in the trade incorporate aquarium species in their livelihoods, we examine source-level aquarium fish collecting and trading data in the Banggai Archipelago, a region in Central Sulawesi that has become a significant source for popular aquarium, also known as ornamental, fish species. Using a sustainable livelihoods lens, we examine this data to understand how participants in the aquarium trade both contribute to as well as benefit from the trade and consider how their participation relates to emerging Blue Justice principles. From one year...
