My new betta fish is it male or female?

[sapodaco69]

it is a male longer tail

Your fish is clearly a male. This is because of the longer, more ornate fins, and the "beard" at his gills.

@DolittleMD Thank you!

@Everyonesgirl35 Rule of thumb in the fish world is darker colored = female brightly colored = male. The males use their color to attract the females. Good looking beta btw.
