Pouty lips or batting eyes usually work for me too. I am still working on my bf so I can get the gold CT pair not just the male.
If I find a double tail that looks like your anywhere I'd being bring her/him home immediately.

Well you can do what I did compare the flare and the reaction to another betta. I took a betta I knew for sure was a female in a cup put it in the tank for about 30 minutes while I tore down her tank. The next day my supposed female built a huge nest. I know females do build nest but usually not this big. Then the next week I had to do a complete tear down of a males tank, put him in a cup inside the tank the same way.. I put him in and the supposed female started flaring and wanting to fight. Silly little boy hasn't built another bubble nest. I guess he is happy being a bachelor. I am thinking yours is a male too but I have been wrong before. Always make sure the cup is well covered.

Shawnie, you can always create a poll with the stipulation that if people vote, they must give their reasons why they think it's male or female. I thought it was a plakat, but I don't know anything about identifying types of betta.

Allie, is looks like your Jewel.
