[BettaLu&Meg]

i know but hey the people who don't really know end up learning, just sounding foolish knowing they know, i try to reverse that feeling ya know?

that is good that there colorful! that means there heathly, and bettas are very colorful fish, and if you are like breeding they will show lots of color, so its not bad!

So you know there are fish out there who have been dyed to suit the market, i cannot remember the names of them but you have to be very careful on which fish you buy because you may be unknowingly giving profit to people who dye their fish.

(also through selective breeding not only have bettas gotten more of a variety in colour but it also has produced long tails, origionally they all had small tails like females)
