Yeah I think I can see ovaries (beige/yellowish triangle) on the top one that I am assuming is the male based on the bottom one having a dippier topline.
the top pictures is the female and the blue, red and black veiltail on the bottom is the male. I know he is a male because I don't see the eggspot. I know the difference between a male and female betta.
An eggspot is not a reliable sexing method at all... I have males that have what looks like them and females that don't. The one on the bottom looks like either a young male or a female.
I really feel like they are both females. I have a female that looks very similar to your blue one, and she does not have an eggspot either. Like Matts said, the eggspot is not always a reliable means of sexing.
Well I have a 30 gallon tank that I am gonna be using as a fry tank for my soon to be guppy fry. I have 3 females that are pregnant and I figured a 30 gallon was big enough for all the fry. Would 2 bettas be alright with 60+ guppy fry? I expect the guppy fry within 3 weeks or so.
Pregnant? Bettas can't get pregnant. Do you mean eggy? The eggs are infertile if they're eggy. A 30G won't be big enough for all that fry; if they're alive.
Yeah that is why I am selling the bettas. I want to have room in my one 10 gallon tank for the females both before birth and after. I currently have the grizzle girl in it
That little female is beautiful! It's going to be awhile before I can afford any, but if you still have her next month I'd be happy to take her off your hands.
That's the one I was talking about. I think she is stunning. Even if she has problems that make her a pet rather than a breeder she'd be a gorgeous addition to any sorority. It still going to be weeks till I have any money I can spend, but if you still have her by then I will very gladly give her a new home. If someone wants her before then I will just be happy that she found a place to be loved & appreciated for the beauty she is.
I have another spoon headed lady here, so that doesnt bother me in the least. I just love her coloration. I wish I could say it was sooner, but I likely won't have any money to spare before September 9th. It might be after that. I have a couple commitments I need to meet before hand, but I will stay in touch & let you know what it going on. Message me anytime you wonder or if something happens with this pretty lady (such as she finds a different home)
Just PM me your name and address and I will send her to you next Wednesday. Thing is we are moving by Sept 11 and I don't wanna take her to the new place then have to ship while she is still stressed from the move so I wanna ship her while she is calm and happy.
I'm going to PM you. I've had problems with IOUs before and am not 100% comfortable with that, but will leave it up to you in the end.
