Old Fish Or Young Fish

[92cw12]

i m not sure how to tell the difference of age. i pick the smallest and most lively bettas.i bought one to weeks ago from a pet shop this is him ace. is he an old fish?

difficult to tell, he has fin damage, keep an eye on that!
if he was from a regular run of the mill pet shop he's probably aged 8 months to a year old.

catxx means that the tail fin also called the caudal was niped. See how it's shorter? Quite a number of petstore VT have the spikey dorsal fin And I'd have to agree on the age, looks to be 6-8 months old (give or take)

Hope that helps
