Description

The Plakat, or Plakad, is a short-tailed Betta, and is the most closely related to wild Betta splendens or traditional fighting Bettas. Plakats can often be mistaken for female Bettas to the untrained eye, however, males will display elongated ventral fins, a rounded caudal fin and a sharply pointed anal fin. The term Plakat is often abbreviated to “PK”. There are 3 sub-categories related to this tail type. There is the traditional Plakat where the tail is rounded, sometimes with a point. Now, due to selective breeding and crossing, there is also the Half Moon Plakat (or “HMPK”) where the tail has a 180 degree spread when flared and the Crown Tail Plakat (or “CTPK”) where the tail is either rounded or with a 180 degree spread and with elongated rays giving it a “spiky” appearance.
