My halfmoon beta

[stlovefamily]

Hi, I'm new here and wanted to share my beta. I don't know a whole lot about them so I'm hoping to learn lots here. I believe this is a female as tjat is what I was told. I have no name for her yet so feel free to help me out on that

That's a very long-finned female if it is. I think it's probably more likely a male. Check between the ventral fins (those would be the two long fins hanging down beneath the fish just behind the gills) for a small white spot. If there's a white spot there, it's female, if not it's a male.

And welcome to Fish Forum!

I checked and No white spot. so it must be a male.

I never name my fish so I'm no help in that department but I wanted to tell you that I think you've got a very nice looking betta. Welcome to the forum!
