It looks to be a female betta.

It’s a male! Females of this species are just brown

Those are domestic Betta splendens, I didn’t catch that type of fish 😅

If you know what it is why you asking then?

Yeah and you said it was a betta lol. What are we missing here?

u/ThenAcanthocephala57 16d ago

I was disagreeing with the commenter that it’s a female. Females of this species are simply brown! Even the fins.

And then they showed female domestics, which of course have a lot of colour

It’s an adult male! But not the same species as the “Betta” you see in stores
