My lovely 4 surviving betta fry will be 4 weeks old this week and I'm excited to think about what they will be in terms of sex.
One is notably smaller than the other 3. It is also paler and "prettier", although that is, of course, me projecting my thoughts that she might be a female. The horizontal "line" through the tails of the other 3 are a good mm longer than the little one's.
They have been having several 25% - 50% water changes a day to dilute the hormone that the males produce, and they have shared the same accommodation since they were eggs.
Have I ended up with 3 males and 1 female, or am I being ridiculously early in trying to guess?
They are all starting to nose up to each other and have little darting chases, so there's no discernible difference in behaviour yet.
