Male Looking Female

[bettalover2033]

Well I was on aquabid and saw this female:

(Last picture on the bottom...They are not the same fish. It was listed as PAIR)



Now I know what you're thinking. I thought it was a male at first too. Though this female has some really big fins. Also her body is pretty big as well.

What are you guys' thoughts on this? Could this be a result/transformation of a female changing gender?

I think it is unlikely, but could be wrong. See this is the perfect example of a female that can have beautiful flowing long fins like males.

The bottom photo isn't the same fish :0 Thats very strange though. My poor brain lol

[bettalover2033]

@BB: Yes I know. IT was on AB and said pair. The last picture is the fish I'm talking about. Sorry for not clarifying:P

Lol that is what my parents used to call *"baby brain"* lol

[BeautifulBetta]

OH! Okay duh lmao. She's totally got the innocent little female face. She's really pretty :)

and yes, baby brain central, right here..lmao.

[bettalover2033]

You're right...She DOES have the "innocent female" face on her. Especially compare to the males face. It looks like he has a darker face with a more meaner looking feature. Like his eye. look at his eye in the 3rd to last photo.

[BeautifulBetta]

very true! He looks rather cranky lmao. She's got quite the bent spine though eh? Looks like the back of her head got smushed

[bettalover2033]

Yeah, sadly her spine is pretty bent back.

Though what I'm most shocked at is the "Beard." Females never have a beard that big. It usually is so much more shorter than the one in that picture. Thats really interesting if you ask me.

i saw those on Tumblr the other day. i ADORE that male! the female, though... :T I'd never breed her. lookit that hump!

at first, i thought it was a pair of males. xD then, after looking, nope. :B female and male.

I hope no one puts her in a sorority. Poor thing! The other fish would taunt her so badly! Her luck someone would name her an either name like Bailey or Sam too. LOL. To a human eye she's gorgeous.. To the mean stuck up females of sororities, she's a great target!

I saw them on Aquabid today and I was wondering the exact same thing.....
They are both gorgeous IMO and i would buy them both if I could, though I wouldn't breed them.
