1. The caudal fin has a basic oval form with a sword-like extension of the upper fin rays. The length of the sword to the body runs at the upper edge in a 15 degree rising angle, and/or parallel to the body axle. The ideal length is 10/10.
2. The oval basic form should be 4/10 of the body length and can be colourless.
3. The dorsal fin is slim, rises steeply in the beginning and reaches to a point at the end of the first third of the caudal fin.
