Female?

[Genesis]

one of my 'female' bettas is deciding it's male, its having psycho-flaring fits at the others and blowing a bubblenest, is it a female? or could i have accidently bought a plakat male

You could have a confused girl or a plakat boy its hard to tell with out a pic

you can check to see if there is a little white dot on it's belly, if it has its a girl if not its a boy

Females have a little white ''tip'' pointing out of their anal area.

I've bought females, or what I thought were females, and had them turn into males.

Its on her belly. In the bottom picture you can see it behind her ventral fins and in front of her anal fin.

Even female betta's will blow bubbles, but not as big as males, they can also be quite aggressive I find this more so in dark coloured females whereas the cambodians aren't too bad.

Oh my goodness, I have a gold female, almost white, and she is so nasty! She completly tore up her two female siblings that I got with her . I was thinking to keep the three of them together but there's no way. She is going to be kept like the males--by herself! The other girls are healing up pretty well, by the way. The big meany doesn't blow a bubble nest, but I'd say she seems more aggressive than her brothers! Well, thats not saying much since they seem pretty mellow.

my lighter colored fems seem to be more agressive. i have a white ct female that claimes almost a whole corner of a 20 gallon lol she guards it.

turns out its probably male, there was no white dot where there is one on the female and hes built a HUGE bubblenest! Also, the man at the shop said they were all wild caught, so there may well be a couple of plakats in with them.

I had 3 females bettas last year, they were mean fish, they killed the youngest female, and then started to eat the neons that were in the tank, eventually the bigger female had away with the remaining female, and then she died from popeye.

They probably were'nt wild caught... because they wouldnt have all the flashy colours
