White Female Betta

[motherof6]

Does anyone know if white female Bettas get stripes like the colored female Bettas?

I posted pics of mine HERE. My White one has never had any stripes which makes me want to ask.

hiya, well i have 2 female bettas, 1 red and 1 blue/purple.

wen i 1st got them they had these stripes, identical 2 ur pic of her.

how long have u had her ? if its only been a few days then i wudnt worry abt it, as it took mine 2 weeks 2 get all of their colour back n for the stripes 2 disappear. its mainly caused by being out of their home, (in a bag on way t their new home) and no light.

i sudnt worry abt it, they will fade, its just a case of time, and gud lighting!

she is a beauty though!

I am not worried about the blue one's stripes. She returned to her original colors within an hour.

I was curious if I will eve see the stripes on the white one so I wil know when she is ready to breed.

hiya, sorry, i think i read ur post way 2 fast n misunderstood wot u wrote! silly me!

im not sure, mayb wen shes ready 2 breed she will have pinish strips ? similar colour 2 the tips of her tail ?


or she mite get creamie cloloured stripes. its very hard to tell with white females. sorry i cnt help nemore than that!

sometimes the stripes are hard to see on white/cream coloured betta females. one way to tell when she is ready is she will look fuller, her belly will swell more than usual

How old are they when they are usually bred?

i would prefer to breed mine no earlier than 6 months of age and no later than 1 year old. this is all a matter of personal opinion though.
