How can I tell what gender my Betta Fish is?

Question

How can i tell whether my Betta fish is a male or female?

Answer 1

If I recall, the male betta has a longer tail fin then the female betta, whose tail is much shorter. However, she can be just as ferocious as the male, and can and will kill her young if given half a chance!!

Answer 2

it particularly is in all probability a boy as they're maximum frequently bought at shops and are lots prettier. adult males have longer fins and extra bright colours, at the same time as women human beings are extra boring and have short fins. I relatively doubt which you have a woman in spite of the incontrovertible fact that by using fact women human beings are oftentimes particularly uncommon in shops. Male bettas are bought as purely "bettas" yet lady bettas for the reason that they're rarer are bought as "lady bettas" you nearly particularly have a boy in case you do not have the understanding to tell the gender for your self.

Answer 3

If it's the stereotypical betta with the elaborate fan tail and long fins, it's a male.
The females are fairly bland-colored, torpedo shaped fish with very short colored fins.

Answer 4

It is very simple, Male bettas have long tails and females have short tails.

A$h!

males are larger usually around three to three and a half inches and have large flowing gaudy fins.
females can be as colorful, but they are smaller, around two inches, and have much much shorter fins.
