when you buy a betta how will you know
that it's a good fish
Color,Carecter,persanality,size???

*i need help write away im getting my
fish tommorow November 9th Around 10:00 am

please help me!!*

Look for the ones that come closest to the color and finnage you prefer. Betta should have no visible sign of illness, like ick or anything. Some people prefer a nice color over finnage, some go for beautiful fins. If you go to places like Petsupermarket, they have not even enough water in those bowls for the betta to show his finnage properly, though....
Just because a betta sits on the bottom , does not neccessarily mean a bad thing. They can handle those terrible conditions they are in with those bowls much longer than any other fish. I have bought bettas looking a bit sad, and they perked right up at home with better water conditions...
Torn fins is not something that keeps me from buying a betta, if the color is really pretty, the fin heal with time. He might just be a bit more stressed out and gotten into the compartment of some other betta.
There are so many betta types to choose from - veiltails (that are the most common ones with those long flowing fins), double tails, crowned tails (my favorite), delta tails. Most chains just carry the veils and some double tails once in a whie, but if you go to a store that has fish only, you get a better chance of finding those other types....
Good luck betta shopping! You just gave me an idea......Bad! Bad influence!

Thanks so mutch Adrea i should be going
some time around 3:00 pm i can't wait
im going to be buying s few plastic plants
while im there and a rock for some good
decorations!


<_< I hate it when ever i go to the petshop
to buy a goldifsh i always see bettas in
plastic bags hang up on a wall i fell
so bad for the, so i just diceided 5 days ago to set back
up my 5 gal for a betta

Then you might be able to bring home 2, and a tank devider!

I heard that tank dividers arn't good
for bettas
because they get really mad at each other
and they flar and this can be really
tiering for them plus when
one fish is sick the chances of the other
one getting sick is like 9 to 10

but i thank you so mutch for helping me now im getting 2
bettas i can't wait i should be getting
them soon

thanks
