Super Delta Betta Male
The super delta betta (the word “delta” is Latin for the letter “D” and stands for the shape of the tail) is also called the super veil tail betta. This betta variation is one grade above the standard show betta and one grade below halfmoon bettas. However, the body of the super delta betta tends to grow a bit larger than the half moon bettas, and the fish has great color and very long fins.
The caudal fin (tail fin) extends between 120 and 160 degrees but does not quite come together with the dorsal fin and anal fin.
There are many names for the particular betta color patterns, but most are variations of blue and/or red colors. Fish pictured here are representative only. If you are looking for a specific coloration, add a note to the order.

Received a healthy super delta betta male with vibrant red and blue patterns. The tail is long and elegant, extending well beyond the standard size. It’s active and shows good color in the tank. Great for a beginner who wants a striking fish.

The fish arrived quickly and looks exactly as described. The tail fin is long and flows beautifully. Color is strong, though not as intense as a halfmoon. It’s a bit larger than average, which is a nice touch.
