The Super Delta Tail

Turquoise Super Delta male

This form is also sometimes called "Super Delta", "SDT", or "HMx". It is basically an enhanced version of the standard Delta Tail, and some are just shy of being full HM. This is a very beautiful tail, and often more pleasant to have than HM, since there are not as many worries about the tail collapsing, or the fish having difficulty in swimming and spawning, or blowing fins. They are also available much more reasonably than true HM, and will usually produce some HM offspring if they come from a HM spawn.

It should be kept in mind that for show purposes, the 180 degree HM caudal is still the standard.
