Difference Between Plakat and a Female Betta

[Lethbridge]

like the title says what are the major differences between the two?

Check for the white dot on the underside, if there is one its a female, if not! Male!

[Lethbridge]

here are my bettas the quality kinda sucks but its the best i can do. The one flares and the other doesnt if that makes a difference but they both have an egg spot but i read males can have that as well.

I'm pretty sure that they're both females

[ChristinaRoss]

they look like females to me too, if i think im actually seeing the white spot on both

Yeah, both of them have eggspots. And your red-ish one seems to have breeding stripes as well.

you're right with the breeding stripes, Will it matter what color your female is, because my luna is so full of eggs, but I see no stripes, BTW she is white with a blue tint to her

I've been thinking...my white female, Aigis, has never gotten stress stripes. So maybe white bodied females don't get stripes? Or it's just a coincidence...

I've only seen one of my females get stress stripes.

when i first got my females they had stress stripes and i know they are very easy to see breeding stripes and stress stripes on darker females but not on the lighter ones you'll have a harder time seeing them. I though they were both females but i just wanted to be sure cause i didnt think females flared their gills, and the purple female is very aggressive
