Male Or Female?

[Qwatch]

Last month I bought 5 VT bettas to start my breeding project which I'm very looking forward to. Since I have had the girls this ones tail seems to be growing so I think I may have another boy, He/she does flare at the other females, but they seem to all flare at eachother. I just wanted to make sure that it is a male and female from the experts just so I have a second opinion. If it is male I do have a spare tank for him, and I'll pop down the LFS so grab a couple more females.

Here he/she is, sorry about the rubbish photo, iPhone

Does s/he have an opivoster, honestly it looks more like a young make to me. And does he have a "beard"

Really? I think it looks like a young male

It's fins have grown over the past month and it really doesn't look like any of my other VT females.

Oh, I'm sorry for your loss...... I'm suprised I didn't even know that that happened. As I like to browse the Betta forum all the time

I've had a bit of time off the forum so that could be it

Yeah haha sorry, I was replying to the person above. But I did read the post and it and he/she does have a beard.

Male, longer ventrals and pointed anal fin

Okay, I better get him separated now then!!

Thanks for the quick responses guys! I'll separate him into a breeder box overnight and put him into my divided tank tomorrow, seeing as its nearly 2am now in the UK.
