Is my plakat betta a male or female? I’ve tried to see an egg spot and have had no luck but have never had to look for one before. https://v.redd.it/dxeiru1tt79g1 Posted by Potential_Earth_8049

Check out https://bettasmart.wordpress.com/2015/03/20/the-fundamental-differences-between-male-and-female-betta-splendens/ Has a good photo to compare the two and details on difference between the betta genders.
