New Plakat Male Fighter!

[Paradise3]

I bought a New Plakat Male today! Very grumpy at the minute as I had to clean the tank out today so he's got the mood on with me, so I can't get a proper picture of him but he's huge!
This is the best picture I can get of him...

Yes he has a 15 Gallon to himself...

Love the tank! Very nice betta! Try to get a close up of him so we can see his colors more!

he looks like one of my female bettas? wait, hold on... my female could actually be a plakat male!

 

[Paradise3]

I'll try to get a close up picture of him flaring, then you can tell he's a male!
I thought he was female too till he saw the male in the tank next to him... Boy was that a show! Flares at just about everything! His body is mainly dark grey-Black with a dusting of Greeny-Blue at the top which you can see in the picture.

seems the only way to tell if mine is a male then is to try...

 

[Paradise3]

Hold a mirror up to her/him.

 

[Blubble37]

aha, no need... just spotted HIM trying to get in with my female in that tank

 

[Paradise3]

Now you know!

 

[Blubble37]

ANd it would also explain the clumped together bits of bubbles in my java fern...

 

[Paradise3]

Yeah, that might be a sign...

 

[Blubble37]

lolz, actually, by the way he is chasing her away and maintaining that corner... thay might've bred... its a very quiet corner there!
