Mitchell15687 Posted November 23, 2003 Share Posted November 23, 2003 Hey, Im getting some pics uploaded of my deltas soon. To tell the difference though its kinda like a wedge shape tail. The spread will be bigger than the normal female tail. But ill get you some pics wich will make it easier for you. A picture tells a thousand words, :DThanks Mitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevkoi Posted November 23, 2003 Share Posted November 23, 2003 Female bettas usually seldom show the genetics they carry. Phenotypically they are almost identical to the veiltails. There are cases where for instance, in HM females, the end rays of the fish bend outwards which allows the tail to spread a 180degrees.In most cases, a delta/superdelta female cannot be told apart definitively, so you have to trust your vendor and if they turn out to be veils..... : Best would be to get tried and tested delta females from breeders or a sibling spawn of your male. In the world of betta breeding, 'inbreeding' is the norm. They can be bred for over 6-9generations b4 they need to be outcrossed. Show grade bettas from IBC breeders sold as pairs are usually sibling pairs. This way, their genetics are quite well established and u always know what u're going to get in the next spawn..... breeding linebred bettas is all about predictability.Have a look at this Canadian site at their female HM bettas.... Try telling them apart from a veiltail female. (Would be very hard!)http://www.bcbetta.com/stock.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E4G13M4N Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 The Delta females i have seen (Which is not too many )The tails have been slighly larger and rounder compared to the veiltail females ..Crown tail females look cool as they have the ray extensions as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitchell15687 Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 Hey I got a picture of a female delta, She is turquise green. As Kev suggested it is quite tricky to distinguish the difference but have a look.Mitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
