dragon VT ???????????
by pippoodle Wed 5 Aug 2009 - 23:31
As some might know i want to do some dragon Vt's i've just seen one on ebay but it's a lovely dragon but dont look much like a VT - been researching and with help of Van proper VT's are meant to have longer fins all over this one dont look much like a VT

taking into account this is a standard VT - near as dam it to IBC

I'd say that the dragon on ebay is more Delta. Doesn't have the right shaped fins for a VT.

I would have thought it was a delta as well, the caudal is pretty rounded and spans closer to the dorsal than a VT tail would , his body shape is also dubious, it might be the way the photo was taken but near the head it looks like there may be some deformity

I sent the seller this question - hoping for a reply -
Can you tell me the genetics of this fish please - cos he doesn't look like a VT to me more like a delta tail ? - I would be interested in him but would need to know parentage - he's definately not very VT though

got a reply
Hello pippoodle,
To the best of my knowledge he is a Veil Tail.I have also asked a good friend of mine who also deals,imports and breeds bettas,and he reckons him to be a Veil Tail too.As for his parentage this is unknown,due to him being in a batch destined for retail.I specialise in Siamese Fighters and I mainly breed them for pleasure.I would say that looking at his colouring he is definatly from a good dragon line because he is 100% markings.
I hope this helps.
Regards Simon(caws46)

he may just be an ugly bred fish. looks like extreamly poor delta breeding to me though.
