what to look for in a betta?

[loppy656]

Im planing on getting a new betta soon and was wondering waht to look for in a betta. The first betta i got i had no idea there was a sight like this so i just got a fish who was active and looked helthy to me.He is still alive and in grate shape!

I was also wondering if i should get a boy or girl.
And where is a good place to get a betta?

well it depends on you, i personally look for sick betas that arent sooo sick they will 100% die (like covered in white fuzzy and floating on its side) i look for sad fish generally with fin rot so i can give them a happy life and help make them better, or sometimes i look for the most acitve and certain colors if im looking for breeding purposes.

shoul i get a boy or girl?

well, i think that is just one of those things that happen. just go look at them all and get which ever one you connect to male or female.

Hmmm...
Honestly I have bad expierence with Walmart bettas, but thats just me.
Although if I ever get another I'm going to get it from my local petstore.

yea if you want a fish that will survive go with petsmart or pet co, i someitmes get them form walmart if its a rescue fish just to try to improve its life, but if you want to not maybe have a fish die get one somewhere eles.
