I was thinking that pictures of female fish tend to get unnoticed because the males are usually more attractive... Well, maybe we should show that females can be beautiful too?

That 2nd picture looks more like a male plakat instead of a female. Stunning, though.

here is one of my orange-yellow double-tail girls along with a mustard gas plakat female looks like i'm gonna have to get the camera from work again, i've got a beautiful crown-tail girl, creamy egg white plakat girl, and a very pretty copper plakat girl to show off one of these days too

That mustard gas lady is beautiful =)

I just put a male to the tank where that "plakat male" -female is. When she noticed him, her coloration changed to pale with horizontal stripes. This is a picture of them now.

(Btw, I took the first picture of her yesterday and she was the only betta in the tank, but I put a mirror against the glass to get her flare )

So, does she look like a female or a male in this picture? (I used flash to capture them before the female runs away, so the colors are terrible and not natural at all )

Well If they aren't fighting it must be a female BEAUTIFUL girl! I'll 3rd the nom (not like it matters) but she is absolutley beautiful!!!

Thanks

I tried to take a similar picture with similar camera senttings. The coloration really does depend on the mood this much and the posture too, naturally. It's like there is two different fish. Jekyll/Hyde

i'm envious rain, soo pretty, i would say with almost certainty that fish in question is female. males just don't display those stripes. i take it that ovipositer dot is not prominant?

 

[rain-]

Then we are even =) I envy your fish

She has the dot visible from time to time when the male is courting her and making a bubble nest, but when she is on her own, she usually don't have it.
