Update On Abused Bettas

[newfishy]

that one does look female....for now. young males often display stress stripes to show submission to strong females and other males.

got any better pics, i cant see!, number 1 is a blur, number 2 is a blur, number 3 is a blur, number 4 is a blur, number 5 is a blur, number 6 is a blur, number 7 is a blur, number 8 is a blur

Nothing like stating the obvious, a bit sarcastic though!

Its already been said that they cant be sexed by those pictures.

Although the last picture does appear female, i wouldn't say one way or the other as i cannot be definate.

i am not so sure they are young.....they are larger than a CT male i have just gotten.

well go ahead feed them well and see who gets eggy then. also try getting picks of them while they are eating, perhaps they will hold still a little longer.

I think maybe you are too close and that is why your pics are so blurry. Try backing up some and taking some pictures.

Just a thought.

I agree! I know when I try to take pictures of my betta, they're fine, and come out clear if I move the camera in, but if I even nudge the zoom button at all, instant blurification. So if you're using the zoom, try it without zooming, and if you're not, try backing away a little. Your betta's look gorgeous...albeit blurry.

Hotaka

 

[bronzecat]

I am pretty sure thats male

 

[newfishy]

Hotaka looks male to me, a ripped up abused starved male but male, but oh my look at those vents. I would be suprised if he was female.

just went and looked at all the pics. I am 99% sure they are ALL male, beat up and starved but male. I think when the fins grow back and heal you will be able to see them all very clearly as male.

so even Sora is male? need to change the name......

 

[newfishy]

sora is the most femine of them all but if these bettas were used for fighting its likely its male as well.
