Introduction

When you’re looking for a new pet, the first thing to consider is whether you want a male or female betta fish. Male and female betta fish are both beautiful creatures and can be wonderful companions, but they do have some major differences. Here’s what you need to know:

Female Bettas Are Hardier Fish

Female bettas are more aggressive than males. They’re more likely to fight with each other and will kill male bettas if given the opportunity. Female bettas are also more likely than males to kill their own fry, so if you want to breed them, make sure they have plenty of space between each other. They need room for the eggs and larvae, but they also need space so that they don’t accidentally eat their young when they’re spawning!

How to Handle Male and Female Bettas

Male betta fish are more aggressive than females, so they can be harder to handle. If a male betta gets scared or startled, he will flare at you and may attack. They are also territorial and will aggressively defend their territory from other fish.

If you want to handle your male betta fish, be careful! First make sure that the water temperature is between 78-82 degrees F (25-28 degrees C). Next, hold him firmly but not too tightly in one hand while supporting his weight with the other hand behind his body so that he can’t jump out of the bowl. Balance him carefully by holding onto his tail fin with two fingers while supporting his body under both gill plates with two other fingers on each side of his body. If he’s getting tired of being held in this position after awhile, let him swim around for a few minutes before trying again later on when he’s rested up from swimming around like crazy!

The main difference between the two is that females have duller colors and longer fins.

One of the main differences between male and female bettas is their appearance. Male bettas are more colorful than females, with brighter colors and shorter fins. They also tend to be more aggressive than females, as well as territorial and more likely to fight with other males.

Female Bettas have duller colors and longer fins compared to males. Their fins are often longer than the length of their bodies, even when fully extended! This makes them look like they’re wearing dresses or skirts at times!

Because males are more colorful than females, they’re typically the ones that people want in their tanks (or aquariums). However, because they require more care due to being so active in nature compared with females who tend not be very active at all except when eating food which makes them more peaceful pets overall since there isn’t much activity happening around during feeding time each day (except maybe some splashing around from time-to-time).
