    Looks very juvenile. This is the closest I could find. From the http://www.ibc-smp.org/images/picta/...e_breeding.jpg. The colours on the finnages changes. Maybe it's due to the flash. Anyway I guessed it's Betta picta.

    Didn't know you're into wild bettas too.

    Here's what i think a female. Because this piece is lacking the red colouration on the fins. They are between 3cm to 4cm. I was thinking B. picta too.

    If it belongs to the picta group.. then i would tend to agree with jonannes..
    Moreover, it seems to be developing a bluish gill plate..

    Gene,

    As spoken before I think it is a falx.

    thanks guys. Is the first picture a male? A grown adult seems to have a blue strip along with the red.
