Advice on a Betta--

[Chilli]

Yeh... Hinge is my first betta, and thats part of the reason I went with a petstore buy.

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.

VT stands for Viel Tail which is the most common tail type in bettas found at petstores. Although, I do know some Walmarts have started carrying crowntails. I've seen a few at Petsmart, too.
