KittenFishMom Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 (edited) I have 16 female bettas in a sorority in a 55 gallon well planted tank. One of them is starting to push the other around more and has longer fins than the other females. Is she a he? Any sure way to tell if it is a male or a female? I will work on getting photos to post. Note: I bought these "baby girl bettas" in mid September. they didn't have much color, they were either light or dark. They have gotten a lot of color, but are still very young. I've had them 6 or 7 weeks. Edited November 4, 2023 by KittenFishMom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSwissAquarist Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 Do you have any pictures? Longer fins are a usual giveaway, as are masks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lennie Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 Shorter fins for their specific fin type (like a halfmoon female may still have longer fins than a plakat male. But a halfmoon female have much shorter fins compared to a halfmoon male), egg spot, rounder/bigger belly, beards. Females of long fin varieties can still have longer fins compared to plakats, whether males or females. My halfmoon male vs halfmoon female. She still has pretty long fins: 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
