	Female betta
cinnamonclown Fingerling Posts: 19 Kudos: 18 Votes: 0 Registered: 21-Jun-2004	I've never kept a female betta before. In the past, the only bettas I've had have been males. I've noticed over the past few days that small, round unknown objects have been floating in my tank and have been stuck to the filter. At first I thought maybe it was gravel, but it's not the same color. My gravel is brown, and this is an orange looking color. It can't be food, because the betta food I use is very tiny and black. I've had the betta for less than a week. Any clue what it might be? I don't think they could be eggs, but then again none of my fish have ever spawned before. It seems unlikely that a betta that's been sitting in a cup would lay eggs.
