Matthew does stuff Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 I’m pretty sure that I have a female betta by the way the fins are. When I got it it said that she is a Koi betta male but I don’t think that true. I just want to make sure! she has really changed how she has looked from when she was in a cup! Much more blue now! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitecloud09 Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 (edited) Idk, it kinda is looking like one, but it doesn’t have the brightness colors I have seen, because females don’t have brighter colors than males, I fell like that is one, but idk either really, but what is your reason why you think it is not @Matthew does stuff?

By the way the fins are I think that it’s a female. As well as how my betta acts. Not aggressive at all and doesn’t bother my snails and I could trust it with Amano shrimp honestly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLFishChik Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Honestly, it looks more like a Plakat male. Not 100% sure but if I had to guess, I’d say male **Not a betta expert, lol 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the pet store labeled my betta wrong but then again bettas have all different styles of fins! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max W. Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 That looks like a female koi betta. The pet stores sometimes list them wrong. For example, they were listing a male half-moon bettta as a female. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew does stuff Posted March 31 Author Share Posted March 31 (edited) I just want to make sure what gender fish I have to have a name. I named her Izzy as a female but if it’s a male I’m going to change it.@whitecloud09 That’s what I thought she was. They listed her as a male Koi and looking at its fins it looks like a female.

FLFishChik Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 I think Izzy would make a nice name for either a male or a female. Just my humble opinion. I mean… I named my Pleco “Mango” because I’ve no idea what gender it is yet😂 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotcha, and like @FLFishChik said, Izzy sounds great for a male or female, or if you have a better name you can name it that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knee Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Looks like a male plakat 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllFishNoBrakes Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 I’m no Betta expert either, but I don’t see an ovipositor. Keep an eye out for that as the fish develops and that will tell you everything you need to know. If it ends up being male, just change the name to Iggy, like Iggy Pop 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max W. Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 It does also look like a male plakat betta. I’m not 100% sure, but just watch him/hers behavior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
