On bettas, where did you get a purple betta?!?!?!?!?! I have been searching for a purple half moon and can’t find any… I have been told that a true purple doesn’t exhist. I have one blue half moon (he looked purple when I bought him) and 3 females (one copper, one black devil with full blue irridescent mask, and a red with blue irridescent).

Well my betta isn’t PURE purple. He’s a bit red, a bit blue but mostly purple. Fins are def. purple. (they look awesome when he gets a sight of himself in mirror) But unless one pressed their nose right up to the glass while he was still, they’d swear he’s purple.
My sister gave him to me for christmas after me asking, so dunno where she got him. He’s the common kind, not a fancy kind. A chain petstore probably.

It makes me sick to see any fish in a bowl especially a betta or a gold fish. Again, lets educate people about how a fish …

Actually, now that you mention it, the first and best people to educate would be those staff at petstores. Everytime I pass the bettas in their tiny jars I feel sorry for them, and if I make any “aww, poor babies,” noises, a staff member “reminds” me that they “have it much better than in the wild, blah, blah, blah.” :evil:

And then I usually give him an incredulous look, and get away from the idiot.

before I lose control and kick him in the face!
