New fish! A female betta from the store.
I put it in my 2 gallon planted tank, with Java Ferns and Anubias. I chose female betta as I wanted a short fin betta, and there were no “Plakat” male bettas available. The colors of a female betta are more pale and muted compared to male bettas.
The name of the female betta: Charlotte.
In the store, there was a pair of wild bettas (Betta Mahachai) which were very beautiful. However, they were quite expensive so I did not buy them in the end.

She’s a pretty one. We have a female betta too with light blue scales. They’re interesting fish!

You’re welcome! Female betta is pretty mellow but some guppies have disappeared from our tank. I don’t know if it was her, but she’s the only large on in the tank. hmmmm. If it’s a community tank, make sure your betta is fed. 🙂

Currently I am keeping the female betta alone. Previously I kept a male betta that could not live with anything else (except maybe nerite snails).

The lady at the shop told me you could keep 2 female bettas together. There may be some relationship tension in the beginning as they are figuring each other out. They’ll keep their distance.
Good luck with your betta!

Thanks! My tank is on the small side so I’ll keep just one at the moment. I had a tough time treating fin rot for my previous betta, hence decided I will only keep short fin variety or female betta in the future.

Hope this fish stays healthy! Take care and have a good weekend.

Even I also prefer female betta fish because they are easy to care and not so aggressive as male. But the only problem is that there is no much colour options available.
