(i) Non equal fin rays on the caudal
(ii) Non straight caudal fin rays
(iii Outermost caudal fins rays not at or near edge of caudal
(iv) Fringe (Crowntail extensions) on the fins
(v) all other undesirable traits in a non-HM betta (e.g. crooked back, disportionate fins, inactive disposition, poor form, poor colour, other colours in a solid colour betta)

I just hate those ray extensions. I believe many on the market have been bred to CTs before abt 3 generations ago. The HM club accepts a slight degree of these, penalises heavily for excessiveness.....rightly so.

Another thing to avoid: semi-runts / runts. These tend to have excellent finnage but paler bodies. For a full discussion on runts, please check out this thread: http://www.bettaclub.org.sg/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=454

Correction Myron, Fringes doesn't make a HM betta a half sun. A half sun have to have rays without rays it will be a pitted moon.
