Hellp everyone, new to the forum, and I am very, very confused.
I recently saved a betta from my brother who was starving her to death (her for simplicity) and I brought her to my house to live in an empty 10 gal tank I had with some shells and a snail. Shes doing great, she isn't completely black anymore, she actually keeps food down, she seems really healthy! Thing is, I don't know her gender. My guess is a doubletail female, but I can't be certain. A few things:
-No visable beard
-Has never flared at her own reflection (or at all really)
-Really docile around other animals and curious
-About 6 months to a year old
The big thing that has me jumbled up is that I don't think she has an egg spot. Ive seen her from all sides, and I have never once seen one, but all her other characteristics are very feminine. Anyone have any opinions?
Posting some hopefully better quality photos because the first couple suck
