katrina.hughes Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 Not sure whether its a female or male though... if it's a male it is definatley a plakat. It's fairly young but it doesn't appear to have an egg tube and not showing any vertical stripes when presented to my male. Will post pic soon - may need some help in identifying him/her... lol :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trilobite Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 :love: looks female to me. Very cute Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katrina.hughes Posted June 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 Thanks! Actually starting to suspect its a male... I have another male fighter in same tank and he seems to be showing some aggression towards my DT... also no egg tube as of yet... egg tubes usually appear quite early on aye?

Trilobite Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 hmm body shape and anal fin suggest female. My males act aggressive to females if i add one to their tank. if your male has been by himself for a while he might have claimed his tank as his territory. in the wild bettas only let females that are ready to breed enter their territory, then he chases her away once theyve finished. it is possible that its a young male in which case awesome!

Ashzbetta Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 my first thought was a young male Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katrina.hughes Posted June 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 Maybe it's a hermaphrodite.... lol (won't be happy if it is) :facepalm: I guess i will just have to try and breed it and see what happens! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
