I think it is the best I have taken of him. Question is he one of the high fin? If I remember correctly they said he was a delta tail. *Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info* Look here for my [link=Betta 11Gal Desktop & Placidity 5ft Community Tank Photos]http://photobucket.com/albums/b209/keithgh/Betta%20desktop%20tank/[/link Keith *Attached Image:* Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.

They are often used in halfmoon lines to get a fuller dorsal) The amount of fin volume that he has, even if he is a delta, I doubt that they were aiming for that when they bred him.
