Male or female betta

[phnx314]

So i got this “girl” today, and even in store I was questioning her sex, but a worker there showed me her egg spot and she does indeed have one. But her fins.... really make me question. I haven’t gotten a good enough look to see if she has a beard yet.

It looks male to me, the ventrals are very wide, and it looks more of a male build. Was the ovipositor white? Males have a spot there too that is black. It's just hard to tell from the images.

Yes, the spot is white. I know males sometimes have a false egg spot too when they’re little, and he/she is pretty small

Yes, the spot is white.

Okay, well I'm lost then.

Young males, when they are full of food, often show a false egg spot. I say male.
