Betta Fish: 2 months with this beautiful fish! Can’t believe I actually went to buy a white one and glad this one caught my eye.
No_Comfortable3261 on January 2, 2026 4:26 am Given the shape of the fin I’d say female, but I wouldn’t be surprised at this point if people say I’m wrong about that Edit: Male livebearwrs have long and tube-shaped anal fin (the bottom fin just before the tail) while females have a wide and fan-shaped one This is usually the best and easiest way to tell livebearers apart, but I’ve had people criticize (ie, downvote) me in the past for using this method
Belgarath210 on January 2, 2026 5:00 am Yeah, that looks like a female Molly. Typically, your looking at its middle fin on the bottom, males have longer ones than females. I believe it’s the dorsal fin EDIT anal fin, not dorsal

Almost certainly, yes.
