~~ The Term " Weak Tail" ~~

[RD.]

LOL, no worries.

Thanks Water, that clears it up for me. But does that mean fish with "weak tails" are considered low quality? When I see people say that to others it seems as if its an insult of sorts. In my opinion it doesnt make the fish, your avatar for example looks great in my opinion.

A weak tail doesn't necessarily make it low quality, but a weak tail doesn't make it high quality. When grading flowerhorns on the grading scale, most fish are graded overall.(Kok size/shape, color, tail shape/size, body shape, etc) Also, weak tails is not really an insult of sorts, just a criticism.

I personally prefer fh's with fan tails, and yes the fish in my avatar had a weak tail(which I dislike lol).

HTH

I also agree... However "Water's" fish does not have a weak tail. Thats a average tail. A weak tail is one that will drop (hang) in the future. I dont have any pictures with me, however if you google (drop tail) that may help.

I thought weak tales could mean either/or?

crooked, bent down, flimsy or too small in proportion to the rest of the fish.
