the female beta fish is "plainer" than the male as where the male is a darker shade near the face and lighter shade near the tail.
Because people don't know their real name. They possibly also have got mixed up between Siamese, Chinese, and Japanese. It seems that in the US of A any of those countries are used in conjunction with 'Fighting fish' Its real name is 'Betta splendens' commonly shortened to 'Betta"
She will have a tummy that is rounded as if a tiny ball is inside her. If you keep an eye on them when you put them together you will soon see if she is interested and ready by her behaviour.
Most pet shops that stock tropical fish will be able to get you a female 'Betta splendens'. (that's its' correct name). I would advise you not to use the name 'Chinese fighting fish' 'Cos they may not know what kind of fish you mean since they do not come from China. If you really want to call it a 'Fighting Fish' then use the name 'Siamese Fighting Fish'. Most folks will understand that.
About 8 days but u never know...I have 8 females that grew so....:)
two Males or two females? they are fighting over territory tring to find out who is the superior one. if 1 male and 1 female i think you know
In Japanese Fish = Sakana. (That is all I know)
What exactly is a fish coin?
When it is floating not swimming.
yes because the female will get killed if they fought a male fish. I know someone who has two female Betta fish and they are in the same bowl i thought they would fight as a result they don't fight they play tag and other games.NEVER EVER PUT TWO MALES INTO A FISH BOWL TOGETHER AND NEVER PUT A FEMALE WITH A MALE TOGETHER BECAUSE THEY WILL KILL EACH OTHER.

Simple observation. You will either see them fighting or see the damage on the fish that indicates they have been fighting.
the rosy red fish is the boy.
