The Comb-tail Rumble Fish is a less extended version of the crown-tail fighting fish. The comb-tail is a result of breeding crown-tail bettas with veil-tail bettas.

The Delta-tail Fighting Fish has a tail span that is less than Half-Moon Betta. It is distinguished by the tail's sharp edges.

Naming Your Fighting Fish

All pet store owners agree that naming your fish will help keep it healthy. The fish that has a name is the fish that is cared about more diligently. So let's look at some possible betta fish names.

Although famous movie villains, grouchy relatives, and feared former Asian political leaders are all possible sources for potential fighting fish names, you can really choose anything. Most betta fish enthusiasts suggest that you take a week or two before you name your betta.

This generally allows you to get to know your rumble fish before you name it. You still might want to name it General Mao or Uncle Frank, but at least you will be sure!
