I wanted a wearable tail with minimal fuss to go over the Mahina and I think I got it. The fantasea tail does fit over the mahina without altering because you can push the foot straps through the fin hole, but it strains the fabric.

Cut bevel edges, otherwise they'll wear holes in your tail.

Good call, thank you I will.
does the fabric still stretch when the monofin is in the tailskin?
Is there a way to roll the Mahina up and slide it down through the waist opening? Then unroll it once the fin points are in the fin holes? Thanks for trying this- I’m just about to purchase 2 skins from there to try, but I hate having to return stuff. I definitely don’t want to cut my Mahina.... so glad I found this post!!

it looks like the tailskin stretches alot will this ruin it?
If you overstretch spandex, it'll will ruin the integrity of the fabric. You'll find that the fluke area loosen up faster than the rest of the tail. If the fabric is printed, the image becomes distorted and sheer. The fabric that sits on the edge of the fin will wear out easier. It is a white line or white rubbed area.

in the first picture (the mahina with the key largo tailskin) it doesn't look like it stretches but in the second with the condy anemone tailskin it looks like it stretches
I just want to know if it stretches or not because i'm interested in getting one for my mahina but i don't want it to fall apart easily
Depends on whether or not you're going to cut your Mahina. If you don't cut it, my reasoning applies because the Mertailor skins are not made for the Mahina monofin. The size difference is huge. And the cut is also different.
