Classification of Betta Show

Crowntail (CT)

Long fins selection in which breeders seek symmetry tipical of Halfmoon, from which they differ in a significant webbing reduction of the three primary fins over the rays.
These, being longer, they give the tail the aspect of a crown, hence the name.
The greater the symmetry and the webbing reduction (as close as possible to 50%),  the higher the value of the specimen.

Combtail

This selection is somewhere between the Crowntail one and the others who present a full webbing till the end of the rays.
These specimens present a webbing reduction similar to the Crowntail ones but well below (Bettas with a reduction over the 33% are considered Crowntail)
