none of the females were able to obtain a visa, since fish don't get married.

If there are no males, who do the females have to fight with?

I have seen opaque and blood red female Bettas at the Sharjah Animal Souq - the long finned males are abound everywhere else.

So what does she look like? Do you have a pic? That way if I see her I'll make sure to tell her you were looking for her.

The female looks similar to the male and probably thats the reason why you are confused.

Look at the fins for identification...the male's fins are flowing, the female has shorter fins

Not true at all..... I used to breed them in Singapore and i have all of them in a tank from young. If they grow up together from young, it will be ok.

the reason i am looking for a female one is to breed them here and maybe i can give away some to ppl from DF if they are interested. But i have to locate a place that sell female betta 1st. :-)

Or try World of Fishes at Karama

Other places are Petland near Mazaya centre and the numerous pet shops at Sharjah animal soux or closer to Lals Supermarket in Satva
