new female

[The-Wolf]

As some of you may know I recently lost Cathy, my female betta, due to a bacterial outbreak in one of my tanks. I purchased this one today but what type is it? Excuse the cat biscuits She is very red and the tail seems to be roundish I'll try to get one of her flaring, if she will. She has gone into a 7.5 gallon tank with 6 dwarf red rasboras.
Hmm I'm liking the idea of a tank of red fish

no comments? no guesses?
oh well

she could be a Delta, But will need a Crisper pic

 

[The-Wolf]

a slightly better pic

would really need to have a close up of her tail edges to determine if she is a hm or ct. females are hard since if you can rule out the ct, then you are left wondering if she is a hm or plakat type. are you sure that it is in fact a female? could also be a plakat male, since females are hard to find for sale in lfs here in the states.

and yes, i realize that you are in the uk. don't know the availability of females in the uk lfs. males are usually more desirable for sale in lfs since they have the longer finnage.

Yes i would go along with that, its possible without a better picture to be a plakat male.........this male was 11 weeks old when taken

this is a female....again 11 weeks old....

It looks like a VT

there r 2 types of female vt tails iv seen. with and without crowns. that one doesn't seem to have crowns, my vt female is the same. im guessing that its a vt, its tail resembled the on mine has.

A close up will be nigh-on immpossible with the bad camera I have.
I will try.



I'm sure its a female as it was in a tank full of them at the lfs,
anyway thanks to those that have offered an opinion.
