    Males have longer, more pointed fins and are larger than females when fully grown.
    Currently keeping many wild betta species and other anabantoids.

    I used to have 2 spawning pairs of these cute acaras years ago...erm basicially some females will also have very nice and long finnage to the extent that i tot its a male..oni when i c it laying eggs then i know its a female...
    Now, i have 3 of these fishes with me...and like wat u said , the most dominant one dominates the whole tank lor...(not sure of its sex, but im sure the other 2 are 1 male n 1 female..finnage very obvious in these 2 fish)
    deosnt mean u have male and female they will form pairs leh..also must c if they like each other anot i guess...
