Betta

Betta: Is my female old enough?

I just bought a female betta to breed. She's only about 1in 1/4 and she's a pearly white with tons of irradecents. I'm unsure if she's just a juvenile or if she's old enough to breed.

Could you post a picture? I know you need to condition them for 2-3 weeks prior to breeding.

Most female bettas sold in pet stores are already too old or almost to old to breed. Where did you get her? A picture would be helpful too

Here she is...

This is the female

She's pretty! I can't tell how old she is though, I would leave that to someone else.

Sorry I don't know how to tell her age either. She is a pretty fish though! I've never seen a betta that color in real life. Only on pics on the Internet. (yes, I randomly search fish images on the Internet. Dogs and a bunch of other animals too actually )
