i think i would prefer the males more than the females cos there tails and colours are alot more outstanding imo that is,i will have to see how my fry tank goes before i get my betta id go and get one tomorrow.i seen one in my lfs a few days ago he was great the only prob with him is i spent about 5 mins lookin at him and all he done was flare while i was there he looked very stressed to me poor sod
