unless the female carries DT you will gte all ST fish the first generation. If you spawn the fry you will get DT's back. You will get Veil tail from the looks of the DT male.

I think it's because of the genes, not the tail type. Although I don't know much about genes...

Its a VT. To elaborate more on what RC stated crossing a VT (even one with the doubletail trait) will yield VT in the first generation with the gene of whatever the female carries (combing can happen on any tail type but a CT bettas is a super delta with the crown trait).

Veil tails can either have rounded ends or pointed ends. They are consitered deltas when they have a rould tail and a spread of 150-160, super deltas when 160+, and "halfmoons" when they have a spread of 180-195 degrees. Veil tails are anything less than a 140-150.

And a "squared" tip can be a sign of finrot, or a healing fin that has suffered damage.
