Their dorsal and anal fins are very similar to the Veiltail ones (it is in fact a Veiltail subselection).
The main difference is that the caudal fin has a wide base where rays open themself similarly to Veiltail but then they turn towards the middle as the tail narrows.

Delta

Long fins selection very similar to Veiltail one (from which it derives).
They present a caudal fin with a degree of openness of 90°, this type of fin is different from the Veiltail one since it is not falling.
