Others have told me she is a crown tail. I got her from PetSmart and she was with all 4 of the other females. She looked so different I had to have her. She was 2.89 like the other females. Males were 5-6 dollars. Thats why I went online to see what she was...I had No idea about all the different kinds. I also found out my male is a VT but upon taking pics of him discovered he has a skin fungus...so no breeding right now. I have had him for about a year and he makes great bubblenests so I'm sure when he feels better he will make a great Dad. I'm sorry to hear about your pair..I hope you try again. Thanks for the help and good luck.
