Female body shapes.

[Option]

So this kind of struck me recently as I'm looking at my sorority....I'm pretty new when it comes to different female betta splendens body types....but (and forgive me if it's already a well-known fact) it seems that the long tailed females seem to have a slimmer & more curvaeous body. Whereas plakat females have a more rectangular & elongated body habitus.

Am I just stating the obvious here or has anyone else noticed this?

I didn't really think anything of it until you mentioned it.
Definitely true though!! My hmpk girls are definitely a lot hardier than the long taiked girls. Same goes for males too though, my pk's and hmpk's are a ton hardier than the CT's, HM, and VT I have!

Confused...when you say 'hardier'....what does this imply??

They have thicker bodies, look more muscular
