Today I bought a baby betta from petco. I'm thinking it's a boy but I's not for sure. Also if anyone can take a stab at what kind of betta it is that would be great. (I haven't named it yet because I'm iffy on it's gender )
Thanks. She looks like she has two tails and the only double tail adult they had at petco is a male so I didn't know if they grow into they big grand fins or not.
Do you think you can give me an estimate on how old she is? I'm thinking like 3 months(ish)
I wish the pictures could show this but she shimmers in different colors like greens and blues when the lights hit her and she's such a pretty thing. I think I'll call her Garvia
This particular betta is too young to tell gender. It will be at least another month before you can start really looking at the gender. All bettas even the ones with the huge tails start out with short tails and also normally keep a neutral color for a good while before showing color.
Your betta is a DT (double tail) and since it is still quite young and small, I can not even begin to guess on color yet. Healthy looking baby betta though.
I moved them into an album on photobucket. I didn't know that messes it up on here. I'll try and figure out how to fix it. I might have to just unalbum my photes. Sorry about this. Hopefully I'll have this foxed later today (I'm on my phone presently)
The stripes are stress, and for young ones part of the camo. I say you have a little boy on your hands. The finnage seems to be growing even though slowly and the body is becoming longer and more streamlined.
