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

 

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

 

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

 

Females flare, too and can be aggressive. My females never flare, though.

 

They most def both females.
And yes females flare just like males. Usually though they are not as aggressive. I have had an extremely aggressive female i had to return she was nipping and flaring so much.

 

ya i had one of my females in a breeding box and this breeding box had no lid so she jumped out and i wake up in the morning with most of my crowntails fins missing, it wasnt fun, but she seems not as aggressive anymore. on another note has anyone every transhipped bettas from aquabid.com? and how was the quality of the bettas? like it is pretty expensive to get them transhipped to Canada like its $15 for the fish, $12 transhipping fee per fish, $5 for box, $2 for heating pad and then $55 for fedex delivery overnight

 

Call me crazy but why would you spend so much on a betta when so many local stores sell then for $3-14? Is it to get a specific color?

 

People spend more so they can get a better quality fish.

 

wow, deltas are only 6.49 here and gorgeous

ive heard several people on here order from aquabid with no problems

 

well bettas here are only like $6 they are vt, ct, and dt, but i cant really chose the colour and thats what i am really after

 

Ahhh I see. Who would have known! I guess its a big difference if you just want a pet or if you want to breed. Kinda the same as if you were breading dogs. Its hard to find other colors here too. Only ones I have seen is blue, purple, red, and a few cream ones. I would love a bold orange or pure white.

 

ya it sucks but i went to my local fish store and they said they would order me a big variety of bettas so i cant wait to expect there next shipment
