Hi everyone,
I'm new here and this is my first post. Please let me know if I break any rules, sorry in advance.
I saw a female betta in Petco a few days ago. At that Petco, all the betta containers have "male" sticker on them. If it's a female, the employees simply use a sharpie to strike the word "male" out. Frankly I don't see beautiful female bettas often at LFS, especially at a Petco. All the beautiful female bettas I can find are from eBay. I was quite surprised to see a beautiful female black crowntail.
I checked for the eggtube and it's there, so I was confident enough it's a female, and brought it. I have a 20 gal betta sorority tank that only has two bettas in, so I added this black crowntail in after quarantine and acclimation.
The weird thing was my two existing female bettas seemed to be afraid of this crowntail, even thought this crowntail was much smaller in size. Then I saw the crowntail flared and it seemed to have a beard like in male bettas. So now I'm not sure sure about the gender anymore.
I have two short videos of this betta, please check them out and let me know if it's a male. If it is, I'll gift it to a friend who likes male bettas a lot.
Thank you!
