Halfmoon Betta
Halfmoons obtain their name from their beautiful caudal tail, which is in the shape of a
half-moon and spreads at a 180-degree angle. For instance, the Halfmoon’s tail appears
as a large capital D, or a halfmoon/half circle . There is another species very similar to the
Halfmoon, which is the Full-Moon Betta. Full-Moon bettas are known for having a double tail
that reaches 180-degree, whereas the Halfmoon has a single tail that reaches 180-degrees.
It is acceptable to use the name “Full-Moon”, because it has two halves or two half moons,
making it a full moon.
