DOUBLETAIL Betta [DT]

Doubletail is a "mirror" mutation that exhibits duplication in the caudal fin, with the replacement of the dorsal fin with a copy of the a**l fin. If a line is drawn from head to base of tail, the fins on either side of the line will appear as symmetrical images of each other (1). As a result, we have a double-tailed betta with two caudal lobes, and a dorsal fin as long as the a**l fin.

The "mirror" or double-tailed mutation is recessive (dt) over single-tailed (DT). There are three phenotypes: single tail (DTDT), homozygous double tail (dtdt) and heterozygous double tail (DTdt). Double tails are considered Mendelian inheritance, but in some cases this is not the case. We recorded one case where the mutation was expressed only in the caudal fin, but not in the dorsal fin.

Accompanying the "mirror" mutation is a doubletail effect with an increase in the number and branching of the fin rays. This improves the shape and size of the fins for a modern aspect (D-shape). That's why double-tails are added to single-tail lines. It can be said that all modern bettas are based on the double tail effect.

The single-tailed line (DTDT), once infected with double-tail blood from an ancestor, still exhibits the effect of the double-tail effect through branching in odd fins. Somehow, the effect grew so strong and existed outside of the double-tail gene.

The development of the double tail effect is represented by the "ray tree" consisting of the primary ray and all its branches. In wild fish and domesticated fighting fish, the caudal ray plant has only primary branching (primary, 2^1 = 2 rays). The effect makes the ray tree grow stronger, branching more. There are many levels of branching, such as secondary (secondary, 2^2 = 4 rays), tertiary (tertiary, 2^3 = 8 rays), quaternary (quaternary, 2^4 = 16 rays) and even, five levels (quinary, 2^5 = 32 rays).

16/12/2022

A – Classical fin pattern flat and smooth edge in wild and Siamese fighting fish. Dorsal and a**l fin rays unbranched. The tail has only primary splitting, 2^1 = 2 rays. Presence of primary (2^1) rays in dorsal and a**l fins, secondary rays (2^2) in caudal fins due to double caudal effect, indicative of crossbreeding with ornamental bettas.

B – Comparison of dorsal fin types. (1) Single-tailed plakat (DTDT), (2) Homozygous double-tailed (dtdt), (3) Heterozygous double-tailed (DTdt). Double tail mutation causes increased number of rays, branching and dorsal fin width. (4, 5, 6) Single-tailed fish (DTDT), but still exhibit a double-tail effect through branching in the dorsal fin. In the case of wild fish (here Mahachai), dorsal fin branching is a sign of hybridization.

C - Single-tailed fish do not carry the double-tail (DTDT) gene, but exhibit a double-tail effect through branching in the a**l fin. The a**l fin shows a poor response to the double tail effect. Modern Betta often suffer from a**l fin defects of varying degrees from limping (mild) to wrinkly (severe).

DEF – Double tail effect. The degrees of caudal branching are: secondary (secondary, 2^2 = 4 rays), tertiary (2^3 = 8 rays) and quaternary (quaternary, 2^4 = 16 rays). At branching levels four and up, the fins will become a bunch of bursting rays!

16/12/2022

While improving the fins in a modern way, the double tail effect also introduced all sorts of bugs that were difficult, if not impossible, to control. Manifestations are as follows:

*The ray tree spreads to the sides, causing the fins to be bent (nonflat) or folded (folded) at the intersection with the adjacent ray tree. This phenomenon occurs at all levels of ramification, but the higher it is, the more severe and severe the defect is.

* Rays also grow long but unevenly, causing jagged edges.

The effect appears on all three odd fins, and extends to the pectoral fins in the case of Dumbo or Big Ears. The effect is a loss of synchronization in fin ray development , causing the overall structure of the fin to be disrupted. In other words, each ray tree, even each of its apical rays, grows independently, powerfully and out of control.

The rosetail is the expression of the double-tail effect at its highest level.

As a result, today we hardly see modern bettas with their smooth, flat fins. In fact, the fins are only stretched when the fish is young, about 3 months old, and soon after that.

Dumbo Ears [DE] or Elephant Ears Betta [EE]

It's important to note that while dumbo ears betta fish may have pectoral fins that resemble elephant ears, they are not a different species of fish from regular betta fish. The dumbo ear trait is simply a genetic mutation that causes the pectoral fins to grow larger and more rounded, giving them the appearance of elephant ears.

Like all betta fish, dumbo ears bettas require proper care and maintenance to thrive in an aquarium setting. This includes a clean tank, plenty of hiding spots and plants, and a high-protein diet. They may be slower and less agile than other betta fish due to their large fins, so it's important to provide them with plenty of space and resources in their aquarium. Despite their unusual appearance, dumbo ears bettas are intelligent and energetic fish that can be trained to perform tricks and interact with their owners. Overall, they make for beautiful and engaging additions to any aquarium.

These fish come in a variety of colors, including blue, red, purple, gold, and koi's. They have long, flowing fins that can add to their overall elegance and beauty.

This study describes the morphology and development of immature stages for the five, wild, bubble-nesting 𝐵𝑒𝑡𝑡𝑎 species native to Thailand (𝐵𝑒𝑡𝑡𝑎 𝑖𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑙𝑙𝑖𝑠, 𝐵. 𝑚𝑎ℎ𝑎𝑐ℎ𝑎𝑖𝑒𝑛𝑠𝑖𝑠, 𝐵. 𝑠𝑖𝑎𝑚𝑜𝑟𝑖𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑎𝑙𝑖𝑠, 𝐵. 𝑠𝑚𝑎𝑟𝑎𝑔𝑑𝑖𝑛𝑎, and 𝐵. 𝑠𝑝𝑙𝑒𝑛𝑑𝑒𝑛𝑠).

Open-access - https://mapress.com/zt/article/view/zootaxa.5214.1.4
Direct PDF - https://mapress.com/zt/article/view/zootaxa.5214.1.4/49177

The study will help further develops knowledge on the early-life histories and phylogenetic relationships of the 𝐵𝑒𝑡𝑡𝑎 genus and can be used to inform the conservation and management of wild populations in the future.

Historically, there have been suggestions to divide the genus 𝐵𝑒𝑡𝑡𝑎 into two genera based on the different modes of reproduction and parental care. In this case, bubble-nesting species would be classified under the genus 𝐵𝑒𝑡𝑡𝑎 and mouth-brooding species would be classified under the genus 𝑃𝑠𝑒𝑢𝑑𝑜𝑏𝑒𝑡𝑡𝑎 (Kottelat & Ng, 1994; Ritcher, 1981; Tan, 1998). To date, this suggestion has not been accepted due to insufficient evidence supporting the division (Roberts, 1989).

Although this uncertainty has prompted extra efforts in classifying and investigating the taxonomy of 𝐵𝑒𝑡𝑡𝑎 species and their relatives, more information is still required to determine the necessity of a second genus. To advance the identification of members of this group, below, we present dichotomous keys for the five bubble-nesting 𝐵𝑒𝑡𝑡𝑎 species and their four larval developmental stages, using the results of this study.

𝗔𝗯𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁
The morphology of larvae of five bubble-nesting 𝐵𝑒𝑡𝑡𝑎 species (𝐵. 𝑖𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑙𝑙𝑖𝑠, 𝐵. 𝑚𝑎ℎ𝑎𝑐ℎ𝑎𝑖𝑒𝑛𝑠𝑖𝑠, 𝐵. 𝑠𝑖𝑎𝑚𝑜𝑟𝑖𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑎𝑙𝑖𝑠, 𝐵. 𝑠𝑚𝑎𝑟𝑎𝑔𝑑𝑖𝑛𝑎, and 𝐵. 𝑠𝑝𝑙𝑒𝑛𝑑𝑒𝑛𝑠) from Thailand was described from specimens reared in the laboratory from wild-caught parents.

For all species, the mean notochord length (NL) of the larvae ranged from 2.37 to 2.58 mm. Larvae reached the flexion stage within 9–15 days (NL = 3.22–5.21 mm) and the juvenile stage within 40–45 days (standard length = 10.45–12.18 mm). The main characteristics of hatched larvae for all species were an oblong and slightly compressed body, a small and rounded head, an oval to rounded eye, and a yolk sac without oil droplets. Pre-flexion larvae for all species have an oblique, terminal mouth, and pectoral buds begin to develop after day 1. During the post-flexion larval stage, rays for the caudal, dorsal, a**l, ventral, and pectoral fins begin to develop. Juveniles have a fully developed ventral fin with 2–3 dorsal, central, and ventral stripes, and a caudal spot. The minimal and maximal myomere number and fin rays differed between species. For all species, there were 1–2 dorsal spines, 7–9 dorsal rays, 9–12 pectoral rays, 1 ventral spine, 4–5 ventral rays, 2–4 a**l spines, 22–28 a**l rays, and 10–12 caudal rays.

The different larval stages also differed in pigmentation patterns between species. Pigmentation patterns on the head (pre-orbital, sub-orbital, post-orbital, and sub-opercular bars) and longitudinal stripes on the side of the body could be used to distinguish between different larval stages as well as different species.
