Lexi B Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 (edited) I just got my first female Betta, but I've owned males in the past. She arrived today in the male from aquahuna and is currently getting drip acclimated so I don't want to stress her out too much. I noticed she is quite rotund, though... Are females typically this much chunkier than males? No pineconing that I can see. Apologies for the bad picture. I'll upload more later when she's in her aquarium. NEW PHOTOS! she's a bit pale from shipping, but she's gained some color back over night. Very curious and timid, thinking of naming her suki.

I'm not sure why she was labeled as a koi Betta online, but her colors are just a bright! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Folk Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Almost looks like a male alien, or Imbellis. But when you’ve got better photos, we’ll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first photo is a bit misleading haha. Although she lost a lot of color, she's normally a deep teal with bright yellow fins. She also has these stunning rays in her fins! I think she's just a particularly beautiful halfmoon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Folk Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Got it! Yes, very nice. Can you snap a photo clearly displaying her egg spot behind her ventral fins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexi B Posted August 19, 2022 Author Share Posted August 19, 2022 @Fish FolkSorry shes super hard to photograph! In person she has a very distinct eggspot, this is the most clear pics I got of it. Let me know if you need some different angles 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
