As some might know i want to do some dragon Vt's i've just seen one on ebay but it's a lovely dragon but dont look much like a VT - been researching and with help of Van proper VT's are meant to have longer fins all over this one dont look much like a VT
What do you think -- p.s. if link disallowed let me know and i'll upload the piccy

taking into account this is a standard VT - near as dam it to IBC

I'd say that the dragon on ebay is more Delta. Doesn't have the right shaped fins for a VT.

deffo dont llok like a VT they're selling a VT to so i should think they crossed them and just thought oh its a VT

I would have thought it was a delta as well, the caudal is pretty rounded and spans closer to the dorsal than a VT tail would , his body shape is also dubious, it might be the way the photo was taken but near the head it looks like there may be some deformity

There's no way thats a VT! I think somebody does not know what they are talking about ... Wink

I sent the seller this question - hoping for a reply -

Can you tell me the genetics of this fish please - cos he doesn't look like a VT to me more like a delta tail ? - I would be interested in him but would need to know parentage - he's definately not very VT though

by **pippoodle** on Thu Aug 06, 2009 12:45 pm

BTW i'm not interested in buying the fish as hoping to breed my own VT dragons

got a reply

Hello pippoodle,
To the best of my knowledge he is a Veil Tail.I have also asked a good friend of mine who also deals,imports and breeds bettas,and he reckons him to be a Veil Tail too.As for his parentage this is unknown,due to him being in a batch destined for retail.I specialise in Siamese Fighters and I mainly breed them for pleasure.I would say that looking at his colouring he is definatly from a good dragon line because he is 100% markings.
I hope this helps.
Regards Simon(caws46)

he may just be an ugly bred fish. looks like extreamly poor delta breeding to me though.

i think he's a runt deffo not worth £10 but that is purely my opinion
