1. The length of the swords to the body length should be 10/10. The outside edges form an angle of 30 degrees. The fin part between the swords should be 4/10 of the body length should be rounded and can be colourless.
2. The dorsal fin is slim, rises steeply in the beginning and reaches a point at the end of the first third of the caudal fin.
