I have 2 bought them both at the same time from"The Pet Store" what an original name lol,I would go to walmart in the future here in Canada the betta's look so pitiful in Walmart they don't take well care of them there in a little plastic cup with maybe 3 inches of this blue water stuff it is sad..
My first Betta was Bo Jangles. =D My Grandma's friend was a hairdresser and had him at her work languishing in a Betta vase, and she wanted to give him away so I got him! He was a beautiful purpley marble SD, I got him when I was 12 and I had him for 3 years, so he lived happily for almost 4 years. He lived like a little king, in a 10 gallon with a crab named Sebs.
The one and only betta I've owned was Troy, and it was many years ago. He was gorgeous blue guy that I got from Meijer. When I go to college (in a month!) the only pet I can have is a fish, so I'm planning on getting one then.
I got Xambi March 19! Then I got Lomasi, but she past away suddenly, without warning, and I rescued Sapphire, who looks almost exactly like her! So I have 2 betta's!
I never really had thought about them because, well, they were aggressive, and I wasn't really into fish. Then I started to look at everyone else, and see their fish. I did a little research, got a fish tank for my birthday, and now I have Xambi in one, and Sapphire in another tank!!
Steph, Xambi, and Sapphire
Oops... ok, at the mo I have 13 Bettas, and I'm getting a new girl (for Eko) tomorrowwww! It's the annual Betta BBQ! No, we aren't BBQ-ing Bettas, it's for the California Betta Club :p
At one point, however, I owned over 100 adult Bettas - all in my room! Thankfully my room is huge, and I have a massive walk-in closet that is never used.
I got my first in January 2000, and I still have him. All together I've had 5, but am now down to 3.

Hmm. I had a lovely blue male veiltale about fourteen years ago, then a red male veiltale when I was about twelve, and now I've got one that alternates between red and blue. His name is Feesh. We've had him for several months now! :)
I had my first betta long time ago when I was a kid.
the first betta I have as an adult is Max, a red veiltail.
I am thinking of adding a second betta which will probably be a yellow one.
My first i got a few years ago, he was only with me for about 2 months when he got sick and died :( RIP Daffyd.
My little dude i have at the moment i have had about 5 months, he is doing great. He has a baby snail as a friend and is quite happy.
I have 8 bettas right now...but have owned 10 of them. I swear I do not have the betta bug. :D

Well I haven't got a Betta yet but I have been looking really hard and have been thinking about getting a gold fish starter tank with ari filter and water filter. It will be about 2 gallons or bigger. I talked to a guy at this exotic fish and pet shop and he said they can put a order for a crowntail for me. I looked a Petsmart but all of the crowntail bettas are red and blue colors not I kinda like the green mixes. I work as a Server so I have to wait after Sunday to purchase the tank I want and then have the guy put in my order for a crowntail. I think their bettas are cheaper than petsmart but if they aren't I still know I'm probably getting a better fish since they seem to keep them in large tanks with more othe co-existing fishes and look much happier.
I can't remember when I got my first betta, funny enough. Fish were the ONLY pets we were allowed to have when I was a kid, so probably around age seven or so!
I had gotten Risteek (my first betta) Febuary 2006. But the betta that got me into bettas (my sisters fish) was Snowflake and she got him Christmas 2004 or 2005. (can't remember which year)
Now I have 3. I had been up to about 16 for awhile but I haven't gotten any lately. =(
