The Veiltail
The veiltail betta is the most common of bettas.They are currently not allowed in the IBC (International Betta Congress) due to this factor. Their popularity has died out because of the introduction of new breeds into the common marketplace. The fancier bettas that have replaced it are the crowntail betta and the halfmoon betta. However, you can still find veiltail bettas in just about any pet store, and you will find that they are just about always the cheapest kind. The veiltail is the original genetic line that has spawned all the other tail types. The other tail types are actually genetic mutations of the veiltail.
