My New Bettas

[jennybugs]

I've recently lost my old betta Brucie and am now the proud owner of a fine HM called Chilli, and 3 beautiful females
Chilli

The girls

Headless but you can really see her colouration

The quietest female

The kitty loves watching them and the puffers though

Chilli is gorgous, as are the girls, the one on the left in the second picture looks identicle to my girl rose

That one looks like a male, there's another pic that looks like male finnage as well - not sure if its the same fish or not..

this the other one xweeqtx, thought mine was male at first, but mine is defo female, not too sure on this one though the ventrals are longer than on mine

 

[xweeqtx]

Yeah, thats the one.

Mine was bought as a female and was male, with the egg spot and everything.

The flaring pic I posted though, you can see the full flare that is usually a males with the extra layer of skin..

Actually I have to confess to one of the 'girls' being a boy in the first few pics, although I can't remember which one it is. Had to take him back this morning. He was harassing the girls to the extreme and had to go
The one flaring is actually a female...the new one I got this morning. The rogue who pretended to be female also had the flaring gills but they were much larger.

I don't know what type these are as they were just listed as female fighters. They are stunning though

The red/blue/brown ones are Plakats, the blue one I believe is a Veiltail..

I'd still keep an eye on the flarey one just in case.. they can be deceiving!

That was the masquerading male! I would have loved to keep him but I haven't got a free tank

The red/blue/brown ones are Plakats, the blue one I believe is a Veiltail.. I'd still keep an eye on the flarey one just in case.. they can be deceiving!

The red ones aren't as red when in natural light. They both flare up but not like the one I took back. There's no fighting in the tank at the moment, no one flares in the mirror, and if I've been sold another male I'll go mad They've all got the white egg spot as I call it too

I know, the camera brings out more colour than is actually there. I've got 2 the same as you'res, both from the same LFS - the first I bought is actually a male, and the second is still small but I'm keeping an eye on it haha!

I was gobsmacked when the rogue started biting the females. He split one's tail really badly and formed the most enormous bubble nest in less than an hour of being in the tank! The new occupant has been in the tank all day and not one bubble nest yet and no more flaring. Fingers crossed

Your lucky, having bought 3 and only one being male. I bought 3 and all 3 were males!
Had fun explaining that one to the fish shop!
