This is the sister to Keaper our lovely boy.

She's looking just like Mum and seems to be developing a Rosetail :wub: Maddie.....keep an eye on the 2 you have to see if their tails are looking like this :good:

Oh wow, how beautiful! I'm heading over to my tank for a close look now haha! x
 
Thank you....she's such a girlie Betta. I wish I had room to keep all of them.....I'd have a whole cambodian sorority tank lol
 
Absolutely.....her and Taro were a great match and have given us such beautiful babies :wub: :wub: All that nagging you paid off in the end :lol:
 
Don't you start.....Andy and me are argueing over this one at the moment. He says male, I say female :p

I say male BIG time, also if it is male then its a feathertail and not rosetail, rosetail males are very destinctive from aout this age, where as feathertail males are more like this one. you should know in about 2 weeks for sure.
 
WOW......bonus :hyper: I knew there was a possibility of getting FTs but this one is still alot smaller than the boy so will be interesting to see how it develops. We've got a couple more just like this one too. This is by far the most exciting spawn we've done so far and can't wait till they're bigger :D :D

I'm also wondering if the boy is Rosetail as he seems to have quite a ruffle to his caudal fin.

the rosetail has a definate look to it in young males, take a look at constantines female in her signature, that is what a rosetail males tail looks like before it spreads, feathers are more ruffled.

ive been searching for the past 15mins on my pc for my young rt male to show you but i cant find it amongst the masses of pics ive got
 
What about the caudal on this one. It's gotten more pointy along the edge in the last week which I've not noticed on other spawns

No, the rt male looks like its gunna be featertail but then it stops growing in length on the extension and these start to fan instead, its rather bizzare to see happen, it's hard to explain, but there is a single main ray that extends to form about loads of rays off it at the sides which make the fan and the folds of the rose. damn wish i could find this picture.
 
I think I know what you mean. The rays go off at an angle away from each other don't they in FTs
