|| Good to know...I wasn't even aware that falx was different from B.

||| The OP is talking about the species Betta falx, which is a different
||| species than B. splendas, your typical pet store betta. B. falx are
||| a short finned, mouthbrooding species. I've never kept them to know
||| about their care though. I would suspect that like many species in
||| the same genus, that their behavior could vary drastically, so B.
||| splendas husbandry may not apply to B. falx.
|||
||| I would suggest to the OP to look for a betta society, starting
||| with the International Betta Congress (IBC,
||| http://www.ibcbettas.com/). Speaking of which, here is their page
||| on the species which shows several male and female photos, along
||| with spawning pictures:

|||
||| It looks like the males have more colorful finnage from those
||| photos.

where all the bettas look like ladies!!!!
