sorry they are blurry I really need to recharge my camera batteries but the 2 reds look the same but one is a tiny bit smaller

cant you tell from a spot on the belly? I cant remember if thats male or female

First&second look like a females, not sure about the third though. It looks somewhat like a male to me......because the fins are a little long to be a male's. Here, give a visit to these websites:
How to sex Bettas
Yahoo Answers- How do you tell the difference between a male and a female Betta?
Good luck!

any other suggestions? The blue has an "egg spot" but that can mean both male and female?

Im keeping them all apart anyway so it just curiousity more than anything.

Oh thanks but you have nothing to be sorry for, I just get uptight easily and I know you didn't mean to offend me when we Instant Messaged

Thanks for giving me someone to talk to! I love talking pets

All look like females. Don't jump to seperating them too early. Remember that they have to develope a hierarchy. Let them meet each other a few times over if you need. My girls will tear tail fins if they get in a tiff but they don't go further than that.

So maybe put them back just to see again? they all look alot more lively today which is definatly a good thing! I think I'll still get a small spare tank or 2 just incase it happens again, the only reason they didnt get a tank last night was because it was late last night but the containers have enough water to keep them a happy for the time being

Why don't you just keep them seperate just in case? They could fight and ripped fins cause a great deal of stress. If they didn't get along the first time I don't suggest taking the risk a second time. I wouldn't, anyway... There's no harm in doing that...
