wat i am trying to imply is, there is a limitation on the grooming process, it still zero down to the genes.

that could be wat he meant...

2 ray got HM.. but its the so-called "traditional Hm" which is classifies as major fault as stated by bro melwave

first ray and the last ray of its caudal must be the same length.
all the secondary rays branching must be equaly spread. (4 , 8 or 16 )

Bro, I agree with you. Halfmoon with end sharp edges are an additional bonus++

i believe that grooming them sometime will get in return
so treat up betta well

sorry to add in this is the picture after but cant find the pic before

i know what you mean, but there must be a limit to how much you can errrm... for lack of a better word, "stretch" the caudal. for one, the fish must have good HMPK genes.
