Can Someone Help Me With The Sex Of My New Buddy?

[lorano]

Heres Hades, my first betta in over 5 years. He/she isnt like the one i got when i was little so i dont know 100% he is male. My LFS had him labeled as male but the females ive seen look like him hes about 2-3" long. Anyone know what type he/she is and the sex?

sorry for the quality still havent gotten the hang of taking fishie pictures

YAY!! thanks for reassuring me now i dont have to rename him. Im kind of hoping that i can breed him someday ^^

he looks like a big guy, how many inches is he from tip of nose to begining of his tail. oh and he looks like a male pk, possible half giant too.

Im estimating about 2.5"ish is being part giant bad?

 

[newfishy]

no, giants are just very large specificaly breed bettas, over three inches body wise. the giant gene is a hit and miss so he could have giant genes and not be 3 inches.

If i bred him with a normal female would half of the babies get the gene?

No, even breeding 2 giants may not produce many giants.
