This is finished on a short-finned plakat form, giving the fish a compact, agile look rather than the trailing fins of show-type bettas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat fine rimming detail is a selectively bred trait that takes a practiced eye to produce consistently, and it tends to become more defined as the fish reaches maturity.
