Betta gender?

[Jon Crosby]

My friend recently got a betta fish but the shop hadn’t got round to sexing the betta.

Can anyone see if they can sex it for her?

TIA

It looks like a male to me.

It looks to me shes got an egg spot, so female. Her features also seem more female- shorter fins (they don't look plakat type either), rounded appearance, shorter ventral fins, broader body

But I thought you he females where VERY plain

I agree female. she has an egg spot, and her fins are female along with the rest of her body. Yes she does have lots of color but all fish are different and I have seen other females with color as well.

I've seen bright and dull colors in both males and females. Especially in some of the newer bettas (dragonscales, dumbos, pastal, certain color types) you can find some very colorful females.

Looks like a female to me. The shorter fins (especially the ventral fins) and it looks like there's an egg spot. She's gorgeous!

Does it have long fins or smaller fins?

Beautiful fish and photos. I can’t get my betta to be still enough to get a good shot. She’s a girl and I’ll upload some blurry picks so you can see the egg spot like your friend’s fish has and tthe shape of her body and fins. I think your friend has a very fancy lady fish on their hands.

nope! females can have tons of color
