Not Sure What Kind Of Betta

[afishdude]

plakat and its a male.

 

[lilfishie]

can you try get a picture of it flaring? would help determine if male or female, also check the link about female tail types in my sig, shows how to spot a male PK from females q

How can you tell its a male

 

[afishdude]

that color patern is VERY VERY rare in females. it also has no bars showing.

 

[Blaine]

But what about the white spot

 

[lilfishie]

the white spot is the egg spot although has been found on males before your best bet would be to get a pic flaring and look at the link in my sig

 

[Blaine]

will try and get one of it, but its a bit hard with the colouring on it

 

[lilfishie]

or just compare its flare to that of your other females, maybe seperate it and show it another male see how it reacts

 

[Blaine]

Fin length is early twice the size of the other female

 

[lilfishie]

so is one of mine though and i am sure its female, although i am now having my doubts as her egg spot has disappeared

 

[Blaine]

Very strange

It's probably a plakat female... female plakats are more aggressive then other female strains, just like in males.

If it definitely has an ovipositor, it definitely is a female.

Edit : I have an identical female that I first thought was a male.. looks a lot like a male plakat, builds nests, yet it has an ovipositor.

When my male pk was young, I thought he might be female because he had a white dot too. But when he got older, he was definately male and the dot disappeared.

so if this is a ma,le pretending to be a female then how long would it take for white spot to dissapear.

it is a very pronounced white spot like the other girls
