Stella Big Fish Posts: 387 Kudos: 974 Votes: 16 Registered: 23-Feb-2003	I had a quick question about tail types - While on aquabid tonight I ran across some bettas that were called rose tails?? I had never heard of a rose tail before - What exactly are they?? Any info would be great, Stella

I have seen full HM and OHM rosetails that have very long tails, so i think they are able to grow full size For animals, the entire universe has been neatly divided into things to (a) mate with, (b) eat, (c) run away from, and (d) rocks. - Terry Pratchett
