My little Nebby swam under the Rainbow Bridge earlier this month (S.I.P. buddy), and while trying to figure out why he passed away I encountered articles about how some tail types have more health issues than others. Which has me wondering: what tail type did Nebby have? I suspect that he was a...

I was just wondering if my betta is a mix of a double tail and a crowntail? I haven't really seen bettas like that before and I can't seem to find many pictures of a doubletail crowntail mix online he wouldn't flare when he was swimming around which is when it's really noticeable but then he...
