Is this Male or Female?

[WDW Donna]

I am pretty sure my local Petsmart is passing off females as males. My daughter picked this pretty one and it was labelled a male. I questioned it so in the car on the way home we peeled back the pricetag and it said female underneath. I am not going to make a big deal with Petsmart since they were replacing my daughter's betta that died after a week.
She would like to know so she can choose an appropriate name.
Thank you for your input.

Do you know if you can get the little betta to flare? from here looks like a female VT...

Haven't tried yet. Forgot about the flaring, thanks.

No problem :) this'll show their finnage really well, making it easier to determine in the end

the ventrils look a little long. could be a very young male..

Looks sort of like a young male to me too, but I'd check for the flaring. Any eggspot?

Still cannot understand why they put a male label over the female label o_O

Probably was a female in the cup and she died, so they put a new label on and a new fish... my best guess. I've seen cups at my local Petco like that, or "baby betta" labels over adult betta labels.

My first thought was young male for sure, gorgeous fish either way.

well I guess -.- if it dies, just reuse the cup >< yuck lol.
Very pretty fish, I agree =D
