🐟 Deltatail Betta Fish (Betta splendens)
Freshwater Betta • Solitary Species • Flowing Tail Display • Beginner-Friendly
📋 The Deltatail Betta (Betta splendens) features a wide, triangular tail with smooth edges that resemble the shape of the Greek letter delta (Δ).
Its symmetrical spread and balanced finnage create an elegant graceful swimming style, without the extreme 180° flare of the Halfmoon variety.
