VEILTAIL - FURTHER IMAGES 1
Juvenile at 10 months, calico colouration
Note the very fine range and balance of colours and the tall, straight dorsal fin. Shown at BAS 2005, and winner of Best-in-Show.
Mature adults, calico colouration
Large adult with a preponderance of red. It is very typical for the dorsal fin to curve over slightly to one side as the fish ages, as seen here and in a couple of the fish below. Shown at BAS 2005.
Medium-large adult with an even balance of colours on each side, but ideally the red colouration would be more broken up and more evenly distributed. Shown at BAS 2005.
Two adult fish from the BAS 35mm slide collection.
Veiltail with forked tail
This is a 50-year-old photograph of a veiltail of superb overall quality, but
with a forked tail. Much has been achieved in the last 50 years by way of breeding
out the fork, giving a nearly straight trailing edge to the tail.
