Story of Sky Hawk Betta

Back in year 2003, I had a betta that was different from normal betta fish. The dorsal fin is protruding forward rather towards the head. If you look at the side of the fish, it looks like a hawk spreading its wings in the sky.

So I named this betta Sky Hawk, that’s the origin of the word Sky Hawk.That fish I brought to compete in betta contest in Thailand. Unfortunately, the fish did not receive any awards due to other serious flaws.

The Sky Hawk betta has been developed from generation to generation. We can find both short-tail betta and long-tail betta. Some fish have sky hawk fin sticks out much more than an old-fashioned betta. Some bettas have anal fins that protrude forward like the reversed Sky Hawk fins that make it even more beautiful.
