I have a fantail with a fairly stumpy tail, it's around 2" in body length
excluding the tail and I have no idea how old it is.
Can anyone tell me if there is any chance that it's tail may get a little
larger as it matures?

Thanks
Mark

I have two fantail Siamese Dolls. These are a miniature variety. I
estimate that the longest part of their trifurcated caudal fin is 1/3
the length of their body (minus the fin). I don't know how old mine are
exactly, but I gather they'll get to be 2-3" max. Their bodies are
roughly 1.25" now.
