Betta splendens halfsun (Fighter)

Betta splendens halfsun (Fighter)

Description

This is the name given to a Betta resulting from the cross between an HM and a CT. The result gives a fringed effect over a few millimeters, appearing more clear and regular than a ponytail. The cutouts does not reach a third of the fin as a real CT. The shape of the caudal should be close to 180 °. Abusively, the name Halfsun is sometimes used to designate a betta cumulative both HM shape and variety CT, which should be called Crowntail Halfmoon. This gives rise to confusion regarding the genotype of fish.

The Betta Splendens Halfsun is a popular ornamental fish in the aquarophilia. It is often called "Betta Halfmoon" because of its background shape that looks like a crescent moon when it is in a parade position. This fin is generally transparent and can have colorful patterns, while the body of the fish is generally blue or red with stains or scratches.

COPY CODE The Betta Splendens Halfsun is from the rice fields and the Southeast Asian marshes, where they are known to be aggressive fighters.
