Have a look in [link=My Profile]http:// www.fishprofiles.com/interactive/forums/profile.asp?userid=6741" style="COLOR: #00FF00[/link] for my tank info [link=My Betta Desktop tank photos]http://photobucket.com/albums/b209/keithgh/" style="COLOR: #00FF00[/link] Keith Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.

If it's rounted rather then pointed definately a female. Nice fish. Some days you're the pigeon and some days you're the statue. Remember that age and treachery will always triumph over youth and ability.

Often females are just plain pink. They do get slightly larger than males, and very fat when carrying eggs. Care is the same as for any dwarf gourami.
