Half-moon or Rose?

[allucity]

Just got my betta and I'm wondering what kind it is. I'm assuming it's a half crown, can someone tell me what it is?

[DragonFish]

Awww, hes lovely!! Very handsome. ;)
Hes definitely either in the Superdelta-Halfmoon range. Is that his full spread? I'm not seeing any CT in him really, looks more like he may have just taken a nip or two out of his tail.

Thanks! I think it is his full spread. And his tail must have been folded sideways a bit when I took a picture; I checked his tail and he's perfectly fine. Thanks again!

looks like a double tail cross with half moon?

[DragonFish]

Ahh, I wondered because it looked like he may have been able to spread out a little more......but if thats his full spread, hes a lovely Superdelta. ;)

@DragonFish, I just got my betta to flare for me and his fin looked a bit more stretched and so I concluded that it is a halfmoon. But, I did realize that his fins look ragged, hopefully he will grow it back and maybe grow it even more! Thanks for the help guys!

[DragonFish]

He does look like he could spread a little more then in the picture. Does he get to the 180 degrees?
Haha, oh he'll definitely grow more. Though their growth-rate slows significantly once they reach adulthood, bettas lack the hormone that tells them to stop growing....so they'll gradually grow throughout their life. ;) He'll definitely get longer, larger fins as he ages, and that little bit of damage should heal up nicely with some time in a clean, warm home. :)

@DragonFish, yeaup, I literally smiled like an idiot when he flared and his fins got to 180 degrees. proud daddy, you could say. :')
