This was a great idea. I never knew what all the different designs were. I really like the butterfly design.

From what I understand, Sam is a red crown tail, but because his body has some scales that shine iridescent blue, he would be considered a lesser quality coloring, correct?
p.s I'm not breeding him so he could be the ugliest fish in the universe - I love him like he is :D

Just out of curiosity, what shape is the veiltail's tail supposed to be when flared? Almost all the pics I see of them show them in their normal flowy, droopy state which tells me nothing about the actual shape of the tail.

I ask because Longjohn is supposed to be a VT, but when he flares his tail is very... eh, spade-y, I guess you'd say? I don't have access to a camera right now, but maybe soon I can get a pic.

It all depends with VTs really....I've had/seen some with roundish ends, some with a more straight/level end, and others whos tail comes to more of a point. Its just a couple different genes I think, but they're all still VTs ;)

+1 for DragonFish. There isn't even a set standard anymore because ppl breed pretty willy-nilly and VT's have been mixed with all other tail types. And that's why there's such a variety. I've seen some vt's that almost look like a delta, some with round tails, and some that are pointy!

....And I've also seen Detlas that look rather VT-sih xD

So when in doubt, look at the rays. 1-2 and its a VT, 4 or more and its a Delta/SD/HM ;D

is this a veil fish b/c his fins droop down and is this the right size bowl for him
