    The most fool-proof way is to put it with a male. If they start whacking each other, your MG HMPK is a male

    Even females can fight with males. Not really a fool proof method.

    Best method for sexing betta is looking for the females egg sac and also by looking at the ventral will you be able to tell the sex. Usually males will display longer ventral.

    shorter pelvic fin = female
    longer pelvic fin = male

    I'd look out for the egg spot in females. Otherwise, you can place a mirror beside the tank and observe the fish's behaviour.

    do take note that if the fish is still very young, even males do have egg spots
