When Do You Tell With Juvies

[Night61]

i got four two and a half month old baby bettas. one of them is starting to become food aggressive, they are supposed to be four baby girls but i know with bettas its hard to tell. should i separate the one that's being food aggressive?

As long as she's not tearing strips out of the others I would leave them for now. Just keep an eye on her to see how she develops....if she starts looking more male then whip her out but for now it's quite usual for them to get abit arsy with each other.

Mine get abit like that at feeding time too and the girls can be just as bad as the boys at times!!!

what else should i expect about from the juvies normal behavior, unusual behavior?

they just got the whole ten gallon tank to play with, its going to be a few days before i can decorate it nicely for them but at the same time they have lots of room to play in now.
