I saw thse when lookign to buy bettas. Anyway I dont know what these different names mean like cambodian,butterfly,natural doubletail, and female crown tail. There are pictures next to the names on the site but I'm not sure if the name specifys a color or a shape, or both. I was wondering if someone could tell me what is unique about any of these different categories of bettas and possibly post a picture if they have one to help me out. Thanks in advance!

Butterfly /\





Females:

Crown Tail Female Bettas

Let me see if I can clarify at least some of the classifications for bettas....
Cambodians, if I remember right, is a certain color pattern - white or light body, with deeply colored finnage.
The double tail, male and female, is a betta with shorter tail, not like the two in your signature, and the tail is split in half. You can see it very good on the picture you found with the green betta.
Crowntails have long fins as well, with the tail looking like the indentations of a crown, like here in this link....

Its very good to see on the picture, the forks that stand up from the tail....
Then we have a few more, like Mustard gas, which are the opposite from the Cambodian - colorful body, beige or light coloration in the finnage.

I hope that helps you a little bit!!

I did some looking around and I found out what a butterfly was. Its a color pattern that the body is one color then theres a small strip of white or clear at the begginning of the fins. Then theres a strip of color the same as the boddy around that and then another clear strip till the end of the fin.

Also what does a crowntail FEMALE look like? I can't picture that because females have such short fins; but this site says they sell them, only no picture. If I order a few females to put in a tank together I might just order a crowntail female two just to see lol.
