I'm new to bettas and was wondering how can you tell if their male or female. Sorry for the stupid question but i just want to know as much as possable before i get one.
Generally speaking:
Males are showier, have longer finnage, slimmer bodies, and can be more colorful.
Females have shorter finnage, are plump, have longer bodies, and can be less colorful.
Generally speaking, of course.
About 90% of the bettas you find in cups at the local pet store are male.
