Betta Profile: Delta

Timophy.

Deltas are characterized by sharp and crisp edges at the ends of the tail (sharpness is a critical factor for Deltas). If the tail is above 130° and lower than 180°, than the term to use is “Super Delta“. A betta is called a “Fantail” if the edges of the tail are rounded. Both the Super Delta and the Fantail are a subgroup of Deltas. These Bettas are much easier to breed than their more coveted brothers, the Halfmoons. Inbreeding is kept to a minimum and the chances of blowing out the tail are small. Some breeders represent their Super Deltas as Halfmoons, therefore, it is important to look for a reputable breeder.
