Betta juvvies get stripes just like the adults and the females will also get fat with eggs. You shouldn't breed them young for 2 reasons: the eggs wont be as devoloped and also the juvvies are small and still delicate.

Remember that vertical stripes on females are the breeding striped but horizontal stripes are a stress indication in males and females of all ages.
