Lyre Tail Guppy

Lyre Tail

International Point Table

The tail fin has the shape of a lyre, the basic shape is round and should not exceed 4/10 of the length of the body. The tips of the tail are curved outwards, they must reach 8/10 of the length of the body, dorsal fin goes right and reached the tip facing upwards, the end of the first third of the caudal fin.

Caudal

Awarding points for length:

8/10 of the length of the body = 10 points

7/10 of the length of the body = 8 points

6/10 of the length of the body = 5 points

5/10 of the length of the body = 2 points

Below = 0 points

Exceeded 8/10 of the body length = up - 3 points

Points deduction examples deformities:

The high and low ends of the tail are of different length = up - 5 points

The high and low ends of the tail are of different thickness = up - 2 points

The high and low ends of the tail are not identical to = - 5 points

The tips are too long = up - 5 points

Cracked or damaged fin = up - 2 points

Base of the fin longer than 4/10 of the body = up - 2 points

The sum withdrawals can not exceed 20 points.

Dorsal

Awarding points for length:

Until the end of the first third of the caudal fin = 5 points

Until the beginning of the tail = 3 points

Below, the length is 1 to 2 points

Fin that extends over the first third of the tail until = - 3 points

Points deduction example deformities:

Start of fin not rising quite steeply up = - 3 points

Strongly serrated or damaged fin = up - 2 points

Fin does not conform to the ideal shape = up - 7 points

Tip of the fin not curved upwards = - 1 point
