new thread!!

HM 1


HM 2


HM 3


HM 4

just got into a spending spree for bettas.

Bought about 15 bettas in 3 week's time with some of them belonging to my gf.

being a beginner , i find it very hard to understand all the specific terms that all the sifus are using and what are the difference. if someone would point me to a link for all the HMPK or list it down here with Images, that would be a great help !

btw, plakat and betta, what's the diff?

What happened to all the others ?

When we say HM or HMPK we are refering to its tail type

Betta Tail Type
VT- Veiltail
HM- Halfmoon (Longfin wif 180 degree D shaped caudal)
PK/TPK - Plakat / Traditional Plakat (shortfins)
HMPK - Halfmoon Plakat (Short fin with 180degree D shaped caudal)
CT - Crowntail (Longfin with web reductions)
KCT - King Crowntails
CTPK - Crowntail Plakat (Shortfin with web reductions)
OHM/OHMPK - Over Halfmoon/Halfmoon Plakat (Long/shortfin with over 180degree caudal spread)


so far tis are the existing terms for show bettas tail type.. other sifu pls add on if i missed out any




also, when we talk about the masking we are refering to the scale of the fish. Masking is a type of scaling that is very thick and u can see this type of scaling in Black Dragons, Red Dragons, Royal Blue.. tis type of scaling is different from normal betta scaling coz its like a plate of shiny armour that covers the fish body over time
So, when we say the fish has Full Masking it means that the thick scale covers the whole of the betta body, especially the head part

HEre is the comparison between a full mask and a non full mask Black Dragon HMPK (ps: photos belong to lee haur of bettafishmalaysia.blogspot.com)

Non Full Mask HMPK



Full Mask HMPK

Salamander is a type of color.. show u an example



tis is a good pic of a salamander(not mine btw). salamander has reddish base color on the body wif purplish coatings.. and they usually have white bandings around the dorsale, caudal and anal fins




and yeah, ur fish fin will grow back.. but it will take time depending on how u care for the fish

Sifu Daigoro, boleh ajar saya apa itu DT? dan DT carrier? is it Delta tail? and apa itu SD? Start Demanding? lolz..

If not mistaken DT is double tail and DT carrier means the fish has double tail genes and might be able to produce Double Tail offsprings.. SD is Super Delta is a type of tail

DT is Double Tail.
i have one.i think is double tail

i think i got post this pic b4

Hello guys;
Just wanna ask. How much is enough it to feed a beta? I don't want to over/underfeed mine.
Thanks in advance.

I feed my betta 4 to 6 blood worms a day or more regard their size. I feed Either dry or frozen blood worm.
You may pay attention to their belly. If too round then is overfed.

good luck in feeding your betta~cheers
