My 4 New Females!

[teeneythebetta]

Starting a sorority of 5, within the past few days I picked up 4 girls!


Pandora, Spade Tail




Fauna, Veil Tail


Monet, Veil Tail


Fiona, Veil Tail


Pandora and Fauna were from Petsmart and Monet & Fiona are from petco. When I got Pandora & Fauna, I went to petsmart and asked if they had any females. The lady said, "Yes, just one" and showed me a blue betta. Then about 5 mintes later, the woman came up to me and said they'd just gotten a new shipment in! I got first dibs :D

wow! very pretty!

Thanks! When I saw Pandora I was like Woah. I went there hoping to get a red betta to add some color to my tank (since I have an orange, blue and green)

:)

I'm a bit worried about Pandora. The ventrals look really big for a girl. I know it has an egg spot at the moment but she also looks really bloated. Young males have egg spots too. Where did you get them from?

Uh oh... I got them both from petsmart... She seems pretty big, she's a little under 2 inches maybe... Anything I can do to tell for sure?

put a mirror in there. Try to take a picture if you can of her flaring. If there is a beard count that as a boy. Boys have the bigger pelvic fins and beards. If you look at your other girls they have these short little pelvic fins. Pandora kinda has some big ones

they are all very pretty! i really like the 1st one!

I really appoligize for such a poor quality picture.. :/ If it is not enough to tell gender, let me know and i will try again.



*PLEASE BE A FEMALE** xDD

It looks like a boy. Females generally don't have beard that extend down from the gills. You can probably see the flare better in person. If it looks anything like my avatar's beard <<--- then yeah thats a boy

She doesn't seem to extend out as far as your avatar. She almost does it like the female on the bottom of this picture... she also does the downwards posture that is says females are known to do more so than males...



Sorry I dont want to offend you.. But I guess i'd really like to think that shes a she. xD Aw poo.
Heres another really crappy picture of her flaring xD
