Betta Profile: Crowntail
![]() |
In crowntail bettas the tail rays extend far beyond the rest of the tail. This gives it a crown-like appearance. The crowntail gene is a recessive gene. There are quite a few crowntail types including Single Ray, Double Ray, and Double Double Ray. Bettysplendens.com has a great article on what makes a good crowntail.



Betta Fish are what I blog about.

I recently purchased what I was told a half moon betta. I also purchased a crowntail female. Can someone please tell me what their color combination would be called.

well you can get bettas from petco,they have a good selection but the conditions stink ,i got a cambodian double tail from there yesterday,but each of it’s tails has a split 3/4 way down it’s a double heart tail! bettatal.com has one under it’s tail types sections but it’s lobes are uneven
