How do you tell if your betta fish is a girl or a boy?

Answer 1

Not True. You can only tell when the fish mature which is about 1 years old. When fish begin to breed their sex organs become visible. the female has a v shape and the male has a u shape. the females sex organ is bigger, but usually the male is bigger than female

The male has longer more elaborate fins and brighter color

Answer 2

The males have a very small protrusion from the bottom.Another thing which gives away its gender is the angle of its mouth to its forehead.The males tend to have a more straighter forehead to mouth area whereas the females' mouths form an angle with their foreheads

Answer 3

There is no sure way to tell male vs female angelfish. The best way to tell is to observe a pair breeding, and watch which one lays the eggs. There are some people that think that you can tell the difference with angels, but the characteristics they use are unreliable.

Answer 4

There are several species of "marine" fish that are commonly called "Angelfish" but there is no knowledge yet of how to differentiate between the sexes or breed any of them. They are all regarded as very difficult to keep alive and so they are only recommended to be kept by very experienced aquarists who have specialised in Marine fish for some considerable time.

Answer 5

The most pronounced difference between the male and female angelfish is the size of the tube located between the anal and the ventral fin. This tube will be much thicker in the female than in the male, but the difference is generally not easily visible until the fish have begun to spawn.

Answer 6

The same way to tell if most fish are male or female. If it is male it is thin with a white spot on pubic part, it is male. If it is fat with no white spot, it is female.

Answer 7

Males have bright colors and large flowing fins. Females have duller colors with short, regular fins.

Answer 8

Like all other male animals look at their bottom if there is a lump its a male
