Female bettas are smaller, and duller in color. Their fins are are also considerably shorter, but they do have similar coloration patterns as the male. The female will have mild striping along the sides of her body. She grows to a maximum size of about 2 inches. Although she doesn't get the size or color, the female often live longer than the male by several months.
If you want to buy a betta fish from a store, you might need to know that usually people sell 6 months old bettas. The average betta fish lifespan is about 2 to 3 years, but sometimes these tropical fish live up to 5 years if water conditions are ideal and food is optimal. The lifespan of a betta fish depends on how well cared for it is. So be sure to take care of your betta fish.

Betta Fish called The Tropical Rainbow
This betta fish right here is the double tail type. In bahasa we also call it double tail, but we have another name, and it's "Cagak". Now I happen to fall in love with its color, just like a fading rainbow in the afternoon. So I asked Sinyo what if we called it "The Tropical Rainbow"?Well, he seems to like the nickname. I came up with another nickname "Splendid Splendens" but I think it was too much.
Wait till I post a very cool betta here, with a very cool nickname too!
Crowntail Betta a.k.a. Cupang Serit
Now these are Sinyo's new collection. As you may already know, this type of betta fish is crowntail, or perhaps in bahasa we call it Cupang Serit. What do you think?
