Who Gives A Fish Forums

I just brought home my first Betta and I'm smitten. He's a dumbo male, not a female like I initially wanted, but I fell in love with him the moment I saw him. What really caught my attention though, is that he's blind in one eye - it's kind of sad, but it makes him all the more special.

I got him from my local fish store, and he's still stressed from the move, his orange color isn't as vibrant as it was in the store - it's more of a peachy hue now. I've given him some time to settle in, just taking a few pictures for now.

I'm having a bit of trouble figuring out his tail type, does anyone know if it's a delta or plakat? Any help would be great.

Thanks
P.s I've named him Boo Boo, due to his little boo boo eye.

Would love to see more pictures of Boo Boo, he's quite the charmer. I'm leaning towards a delta tail myself, seems like a common combination with the dumbo ears, but a second opinion never hurts.

Here are the pics I took, hopefully they're more helpful in figuring out Boo Boo's tail type.

Definitely a canvas/Dumbo ear, I was leaning towards delta tail/dumbo ear initially, given that's the most common combo for dumbo ears. Lovely fish, by the way.

Thanks for the confirmation, kingrise, I think you're right on the money with the canvas/Dumbo ear - he's definitely a unique little guy.

He's definitely got a unique charm to him. Dumbos are known for their big personalities, so I'm sure Boo Boo will keep you entertained.
