Hi, thanks for the question! Japanese Fighting Fish is just another nickname for Betta, which is the shorter name for Betta Splendens. They also go by the nickname of Siamese Fighting Fish since they originate from Siam and Malaya (now Thailand and Malaysia). The people of Thailand and Malaysia have actually collected these fish since before the 19th century!
Hi can tell me what type is mine,especially the white 1 I bought $38 sing buck the pet store uncle say is rosetail?? I really not sure mine both..
Ok thanks I don't think it had finished uploading when I sent it but its up now and I will send it to you. Thanks!
amazing fishes and a good video - thanks for informations
I identifed my betta is Combtail😍
His name is Ambar(which means Sky)😍😍😍
The Plakats are so cute and adorable.
Oh thank you I first taught that my new betta is a veil tail because he looks like one when he isn't flaring but when he was I saw that he is a round tail betta!
Is a rose tail betta hard to find.
Thank you!
Great video:)
Hi Lee. It's a little difficult to tell from your videos, but your white male looks to be a DoubleTail of some sort while your orange/red boy looks like a Super Delta. In your video description to "Bettas new tank" it says you tried to put them together because you saw others together, is this true? Chances are you saw females in one tank, female Bettas can be housed together in groups of 5+ in heavily planted tanks of over 10 gallons. Males can not and will fight and kill each other.
did you provide the wholesale
Im getting a crown tail veil tail and a superdeltatail or rose tail for my betta falls tank
Thank you
I recently bought a dragonscale betta.. it's has beautiful coloration and a beautiful tail.
Awesome, do you see what tail type it is here? Dragonscales come in a variety of different tail types :)
I think it's a rose tail, it's kind of hard to tell though
beatiful
i love the round tail betta
absolutely LOVE the feather tail, rose tail, double half moon tail and sun tail bettas >w< I have the feather tail one he's red blue and red
If you find us on Facebook we would love for you to share photos of him on our wall, we love seeing pictures of other peoples Betta fish.
umm... mine isn't here. he has a very soft looking tail and its tail isn't ''up'' and big the bettas on here. do you know wat it is?
I love betta fish
what is the second type thats wat i have
i have hastmoon delta a hybrid,crowntail 18 weeks old and haftmoon
I in fact just bred some combtail bettas, which is actually bred by using a veiltail and a crowntail
I have a combtail betta! I just found out because he was classed as a crowntail and his crowns just didn't look right so I checked and he looks exactly like that combtail
i have one round tail betta and i dont know wats the othe one is pls make the letters dark
They are very similar, but from what we can tell is Rosetails don't have quite as large concave crimped tails as the Feathers do. Feathers tend to have larger, wider points while the Rose has smaller ones along the tail.
isnt the feather tail a rosetail?
I think I may have a super delta, but mine is still pretty young, so I'm not 100% sure
I got a betta (first time since I was a kid) and it was apparently a halfmoon male betta, but it is definitely a delta, if not a superb delta haha. I cant say I care too much though since he looks like a marble! :D In my books a surprise marble is betta (hehe) than a halfmoon :P
What about a dragone scale
You can try Googling "BasementBettas," they breed show Bettas, though I don't know if they currently have any in-stock. You can also look for "Ballbetta Thailand" he buys and resells Bettas but also breeds his own. If neither have what you're looking for you can try AquaBid.
hi i'am isaiah and this profile is my sister profile so i have a three tails.....figthing so what kind of tail it is....
Most of the Bettas shown here are show types are are quality bred. Most Bettas sold in stores are Veiltails, if you bought your Betta and he was labeled as "Male Betta" there's a 99% chance you have a Veiltail.

What about fantails?
Hey I was wounding it you could go and watch a video I just posted of my betta bc I'm wounding what tail type he is I think he's a halfmoon but I'm not sure and that's all he will open his fins and I did have him by another betta just for the pitchers but they stay in to different rooms and are never by each other then this one time
I think I have a veil tail. His tail is always down unless he's POed.
ok...so i have a ROSETAIL BETTA FISH :D and his name is BUTTERCUP :D thanks for helping me identify my fish ^_^
Cute name!
:D
What about the Elephant Ear Betta?? i have one of those and those are the best ones
Hi MONSTERDAN24, if you check out our Facebook page we have addressed why we didn't add in the Elephant Ear and the Dragonscale Bettas to this list.
The reason being is because EE Bettas are not a TAIL type, they have modified pectoral fins. EE Bettas can come in Veiltail, Halfmoon, Double Tail and Plakat types.
I see
I bought a silver dragonscale HM rosetail betta with red and silver fins :) He lives in a 2.5 gallon tank with nothing that could rip his fins :)
Nice!! :)
Yes, as far as we know Petco is the only store that sells them.
Do you no any good online breeders
You forgot the beautiful Elephant Ear betta and the Paradise betta
nice video
como eu compro
Combtail is a mix between veiltail and crowntail*
😊😊😊😊😊
I have a Veiltail!!
I have a double halfmoon & 2 super deltas + a crowntail c:
k lindo
I don't know what type of betta I have. I was stupid and bought a veiltail to keep him company, but I didn't know they would fight. Now Haru's tail is ripped in various places because of Nagisa and I can't tell what Haru is now ;-; but I think Haru was a veiltail
I have a dragon scale a crown tail and a butterfly all males
Song?

Didn't see one like my betta but I believe he's a veiltail variation.
Great video but I'm still a little confused, I think mine is a veil tail? He's really scruffy next to these fish! :O
Well, I'm gonna post a video soon of all my bettas, maybe tell me their breeds? :)
Absolutely! You can also share the video on our Facebook page (link in the description) and we can help you out there too! :)
I have a delta tail betta he's blue and black 😍🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟
i saw a king betta at petco
Hi Pete, it's hard to tell from your description what type you have. If your Betta doesn't have long fins (even shorter than the Plakat types) you may have a female Betta. If you check out our Facebook page (link in the description) we have tons of photos there you can check out, as well as one showing how to sex your fish. If you're still unsure you can send us a message with a photo on our FB page and we can tell you what kind of Betta fish you have. Cheers!
I have a Rosetail named Jimmy
I had a giant betta once. I thought it had simply grown bigger from age.
Giants are amazing, I would love to own one some day. We have had lots of different tail types here, all store bought fish, males and females both. There are two of us who work here on CheemoBettas and currently we both have King males and I have a Super Delta X Halfmoon and my partner has various females. I myself had been wanting a King for years and finally found the perfect one, he's white and cellophane with blue and black spots. We found his brother a week later at the same store, cellophane and white with blues, blacks and greens. I got the first guy that same day and named him Monstro, a name I had been saving for years. The 2nd we named King Arthur, we got him the next day.
Monstro is in a temporary home of 10 gallons and will hopefully be upgraded to a 20 long in the near future, i have a 20 long currently but i have that Super Delta cross living in there. King Arthur lives in a community tank with a sorority of females and some dwarf Gourami, that tank is a 29 gallon.
CheemoBettas
That is awesome. Do you worry about putting Gouramis with bettas? Every time I've tried that the Gourami kills my bettas. Also How big would a tank need to be to have multiple bettas inside. Similar to their natural habitat.
Luis Reventon Well Bettas come from Thailand, the wild Betta fish live in rice paddies that can be knee deep and up to a mile or so long. Betta fish can live peacefully there claiming their own bits of territory with their bubble nests and when other Bettas come along they will occasionally fight for dominance and territory but their battles don't last long since they can swim away and escape one another.
While we don't recommend new comers to the aquatic world to set up multiple-Betta tanks you can keep multiple females in a 10 gallon aquarium. There needs to be at least 5 females of roughly the same size and lots and lots of plants and decorations. This way the girls can have places to explore and hide if one of them wants to pull rank and try and fight. They also need to be even tempered, if someone in there is too aggressive she will need to be removed because she can easily kill the other females, especially if she is larger than anyone else. Having multiple females of at least 5 or more will disperse the aggression and help keep everyone more peaceful with one another.
A single male Betta can be added to a sorority if the females are all peaceful and if the male is also peaceful. There are some male Bettas who are far less aggressive than others and can easily live with other fish. But keep in mind to destroy bubble nests if he ever happens to build one or else you stand the chance of having an unwanted spawn happening. Spawns are super expensive and if successful you can hatch up to 500 babies and then the males will have to all be in their own separate tanks and it's just a ton of work.
The larger the aquarium the better. You want a tank that has a large footprint, meaning more wide than tall. Since Bettas are Anabantoidei fish, they breathe air from the surface of the water as well as through their gills straight from the water. If you have any long finned males in the tank they can actually drown if they can't get to the surface in time to get air.
For a few years now we have kept Gourami with Bettas, both male and female. Never have we had any aggressive Gourami. Occasionally they will chase one another, but that's usually over in a few moments and they get along rather peacefully. Just remember to make sure there is enough room for everyone and that you aren't pushing the stock in the tank, never overstock and it's way better to understock your tank, less work and less stressful on your fish. 10 gallon is a minimum, but you would really be best off with a 20 long for any type of community tank, as having only a 10 can quickly make the ammonia rise and you can have some issues there very fast and it can kill off your fishies.
CheemoBettas Thank you very much, that was great information.
Luis Reventon You're very welcome. If you ever have important / rush questions that need to be answered more quickly you can find us on Facebook (link in the description) and post a comment or message us there and we will answer within 24 hours, often times within the same hour.
Halfmoon Plakat is at 3:01. Dumbos are not tail types as they are referring to their pectoral fins and not their caudal or "tail" fin.
Help I don't know what to name my betta! I've spent days trying to find the perfect name! He has a brownish/bronze body, and his fins are red, with white around the outside, like a butterfly pattern. I'm kind of thinking about a few names already, but none have really popped out at me yet, or really got my attention. Here they are: Ace, Comet, Crimson, Bronze
I think I have a giant veiltail and a crowntail
Ohh okay i've always seen that 1 as a rosetail in alot of places... ,,, :)
thích cá cảnh nhưng kinh nghiệm nuôi chưa nhiều
I own a veiltail female betta and a crowntail male betta.
I have a crown tail male betta
We love Crowntails! They are very exotic looking, over the years we have had about 10 or more of those lovely Bettas. :)
So not only is my betta unusual in coloring (pinkish white with an opalescent sheen, navy blue at the base of the tail and streaks on the fins) but unusual in classification too. I have double tail. I'm not sure what Wal-mart had him classified as but it wasn't that. Oh Wal-mart. *Shakes head*. Well my lively, active, and unusual friend will live a far longer and happier life with me anyhow; after all no betta deserves to be your property.
I have the double veiltail
Wow
Hi, I checked your channel but did not see the video you have mentioned. Please send it to us in a personal message and we can tell you what types of Bettas you have.
i have a veiltail betta fish
Go ikan laga,go ikan laga...berkembang biak engkau di luar negara
My name Betta is a Dumbo and my female one is crowntail
Shouldn't a double half moon, be called a full moon?
We see what you did there, however:
There actually currently isn't a strand of "Full Moon" Bettas, though we have seen some that are "Over Halfmoon" where their tail starts folding back towards their body. Though we have seen some smaller pet stores who have misnamed their Betta types and have called them "Full Moon" and Halfmoons have been called "Moon Tail". When looking at a Double Halfmoon they have two separate tails that are both very large, which is why they have this name.
I have a halfmoon
We have had many Halfmoons, they are lovely.
i have some plakat..
my uncle breed his female ane my male and my male died but we still have the babies
Did you know that double half moon bettas are also called full moon bettas☺

He dig his way in n stuck I pull up the plant to saw him dead n I cry calling my hubby from work he rush home with a new betta but still I miss my Pearly he so young n handsome..
ajajajajajaajajajajajaajajaajajajajajjajajaajaajaj
where the dragon tail?
I don't know when they started naming them "betta" because growing up, everyone called them "Siamese Fighting Fish" which is a much better name in my opinion.
Growing up they did call them Siamese Fighting Fish because they came from Siam which is now Thailand. Siamese fighting fish, B. (Betta) Splendens, are frequently sold in the United States simply as "bettas". Fish fanciers are thus often unaware that, as of 2006, around 65 species are classified within the genus Betta, including types of Gourami. Commonly now though when people refer to the word "Betta" they are talking about the previously names Siamese fighting fish. I've also heard people calling them "Sea Monkeys" which are not at all what they are, so called sea monkeys are a Brine Shrimp so those people are completely wrong.
"The name Betta (or betta) is pronounced /ˈbɛtə/;[4] the first part is the same as the English word bet. By confusion with the name of the Greek letter beta, the name is often pronounced /ˈbeɪtə/ in American English, and may be misspelled with one 't'. The name of the genus is unrelated to that of the Greek letter, being derived from the Malay word ikan betah ("persistent fish")." from a Wiki
Where is the dragon tail
I don't know what a "Dragon Tail" is.. Do you mean Dragonscale? If so, that's not a tail type it's only a type of coloration. Dragonscale can be all tail types, Plakat, Crowntail, Halfmoon..
Nm b
Where's the Elephant Ear Betta's...
Elephant Ears are not a tail type as they can have any style of tail, Plakat, Halfmoon, Doubletail exc. their name refers to their pectoral fins, not their tails.

Niwce namea otaku draw
