If You Keep Bettas Please Answer This

[The-Wolf]

I was wondering if more females/girls/women etc keep bettas than males/boys/men etc

should be interesting

 

[helsekia]

[NutMutt]

[OohFeeshy]

I should have voted male just to spite you

 

[FBTgirl]

I love bettas.

Try this in each of the other forums as well - do more male's keep 'oddball' or predatory fish? Where is the bias with guppies? What about African rift lake cichlids, cories, plecs or discus? lol - I'm getting carried away

You have to take the poll results with a grain of salt, however. Yes, you have more poll results for "female" than for "male". Here are a few curveballs to throw at you:


- Maybe men don't like to answer polls

- Maybe men don't like to be on forums about fish

- Maybe men aren't as prone to keep fish; maybe out of the men that keep fish almost all of them have bettas and a small percentage of women do but the difference in numbers throws the results off

- Maybe men don't know it's a betta that they're keeping ; - ) [kidding, guys, kidding.]



Just some thoughts from someone who had to survive statistics in college last year.

I'm not entirely surprised that more women keep Bettas than men.
I have 4 which I adore and I know my partner likes them but he has said it's not a fish he would buy himself.
I've come across a couple of men who wouldn't buy them or don't like them.

Where is the box for "I am female and can't stick bettas at any price"? Real fish for me! The betta tank went to live in my little brother's room.

 

[Kittles_yang]

it doesn't matter what kind of gender you are but as long as you love them then thats the point...hahaha..

 

[catxx]

both me and my brother keep bettas, well i have 4 and he has 1.

It also depends on your location, and level of the hobby, ie. breeders. As we've seen from the photos cracker has posted, in the Phillipines, it seems to be a predominately male hobby.

That being said, this poll is very interesting.
