Adrienne Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 Hi, top one is a male, bottom one I can't quite see well enough ( not looking for egg tube if you are wondering). How old are they? Nice fish, like the bottom one a lot. Did you get them privately or from a shop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishtv Posted June 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 Yea I had come to the conclusion that it was a male :roll: Bumma though because I may not be able to keep him as he gets bigger with the gouramis, angels and guppies. The bottom one is very pretty and hopefully remains a female hehe. She is gorgeous and very outgoing. I got them from the lfs, they were so impressive I couldn't resist! What is your opinion about keeping the male and female together? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishtv Posted June 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 Hi I have done some research and had some fishtv time and now I am 85% sure the second one is a female. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrienne Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 You may find you have no problem with keeping the male in a tank with angels and gourami, it really depends on the nature of all the fish in the tank and how much cover (plants) etc there are. The angels may have the odd nip at the fins of a male and the biggest problem is likely to come if there is a male gourami in there. As to keeping the male and female together in a community tank I know people do it without problems, once again if it is well planted it will be easier. The other thing is that if they are both males you will soon know when you put them in the tank together. Enjoy them they are great fish.

Michelle.g Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 They are beautiful bettas you have there. I keep one male and two female bettas in a community tank. The male flares at the females a bit, but they all seem pretty happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
me love fishy Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 I have one male and three females in a tank with angels and gouramis, they don't seem to bother each other, they keep to their own species mostly. Everyone seems happy enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishtv Posted June 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 Thanks a lot guys I am very proud of my new fish! :lol: The male seems a lot more active than the female and is too preoccupied with checking himself out in the glass to bother anything. My angel is a pretty relaxed guy and is still only young. I have two honey dwarf Gouramis who are males so I will have to see how it goes? If there is any probs I will separate them.
