I could be wrong, but it looks like that's a male. Typically females have much shorter fins. Good looking fish though.

I do no think so. Pretty fish.

They sell ones that look like this as fems all the time there.My wife has had a few,they dont flare or show any aggression either.I also have a fem that looks like a fem should look in with this one. He/she shows no interest toward her.Whatever it is,its a well behaved beta for sure.

**smaug** · 02-20-2011, 04:56 PM

Well what ever gender that's a cool betta.

Look behind the ventral fins (the skinny ones up front). If it's a female, she'll have an ovipositor (a small white tube for laying eggs). It looks like a white bump just behind the fins. No male has one of them.
