So I know he is a he and that. I would just love to know what tail he is, what type of body he is etc etc...
I have attached photos of him, he is like turquoise, reddish, blueish and slight shades of purple on him as well! he has loads of colours
Thanks in advance, will love to hear from all of you's soon, Ross!
1 (red) is the top tail fin
2 (green) is the lower tail fin
The Dorsal and Anal fins are marked. Unless there is a 3rd fin hidding behind the dorsal fin then he's a double tail.
He's a great looking double tail, very even and the body isn't all stumpy like some. And I believe his color would be described best as being "Iridescent" blue/green.
He looks healthy and happy, and I'm glad he's moving around a lot more!!
Thanks for your help! You's are all so helpful on this site! I now get it I think it was just at first I was getting confused over it all and that, but you's all helped me through it Thanks!
You have some really nice pics there!! He's such a nice color (though from the profile message you sent me earlier, Bow is nowhere near the same color as Ludendorff!! lol My fish is a multicolor, whereas Bow is definitely a blue! With some iridescence, but then most blue do )
that's what I meant, your's is lighter on the body and those photos of my Bow don't do him justice! See when you look at yours, does he show up different shade of colours? Cause Bow certainly does! Some times he is a light green, next he could show purple haha!
Double tails are a deformity that causes the top section of the body to reflect the bottom. This causes shorter bodies and a much larger top fin. DT bettas should not be bred to other DTs since those spawns often result in large amounts of deformities.
Here are some examples of DT bettas (from bettatalk).
Show bettas are bred for overall symmetry. To achieve this breeders often breed single tail bettas to DT to increase the width of the dorsal (top fin). This blue halfmoon shows that he has DT in his blood by the extra wide dorsal.

Thanks! you do know your Bettas all right! Could you please determine what tail, body etc my Betta, Bow is? And is there anything rare about him or unique? Thanks again!
I am sort-of new to tail types and stuff but yeah he looks like a double-tail,
he is a gourgous fish by the way.
