    It would be horrible if you spent $45 on a fish, and you accidently do something wrong, and it dies. I don't mean to sound cheap, but thats why I went with a betta from our petstore in town.
    Just my opinion!
    Goldfish--Lived for a year, were fine until my grandpa had to take treatment things. They had perfect lives. Had them in August, but this will be my first betta.

    I honestly wouldn't spend that much on a betta unless you are planning to breed in the future. Thats just my opinion...I would rather save on of the VT that are stuck sitting on a petstore or Walmart shelf and give them agood home.

    Yeah, thats what I meant to mention!! .... the $45 betta will certainly get a good home, because only someone who was really serious about bettas would buy one with that pricetag.

    Yeah I know...but someday when I am more betta experienced and on my own, I'm going to get a purple crowntail similar to him. I bet there's a bunch of bettas just waiting for some love at Petsmart .
    ETA:What's VT stand for? Sorry I'm a bit new to betta breeds .

    I really don't know! I just agreed to everything else that was mentioned!
    All I know is that my dream betta is just an opaque... nothing fancy... just an opaque.
