Anjum Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Neat! Is it black w/ blue highlights? I'm gonna guess it's a male, but hard to tell. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cbass Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Pretty! Definitely a male. I have a female plakat and the fins are much shorter than that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I If you are a member of the channel, look at the video from Gianne (first Member's Only Presentation) she gave the best information on how to care for, identify, and even breed bettas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nabokovfan87 Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Very cool looking betta! I don't know why, it's so difficult to find good, dark, black base color bettas for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back when I was breeding, a proper black and then the purple, were like Holy Grail colors in the betta community. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was black with red accents. or pure black another day. Often these days, I see one and go oh sweet, but it turns out to be a dark blue. My favorite color is green, so blue just makes me.... blue.

LOL Crowntails are my favorite! The females are perpetually eggy, lol. From back in my breeding days, a conditioned female getting ready to be introduced to the male. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
