How long does it usually take for a new born baby betta to reach adulthood?
How long for color?
How long until you can tell the gender?

Many Thanks.

It usually takes anywhere from 4-6 months for bettas to reach maturity. Some sooner and some later depending on the conditions it was raised in. Most darker colors start coming in around the 3rd or 4th week, red and orange comes in on the fins first then moves on to the body. And the males start to get larger finnage around 2 months.

You mean a single Betta or a spawn of fry?

i use to breed betta in a 10gal were i would fill up half way for the breeding process then fill up all the way for keeping the fry, then id cull the not good males and females. keep the females in the 10gal and add another tank if needed for females, and i jar the good males usually around 3-10 in an entire batch in my rack system
