If you plan to get another, you may be able to get much higher quality by buying from a breeder. The fish will be younger, for one thing, and if you take excellent care of it, they may live 3 or more years. A friend of mine just lost one that was 5 years old, her prize winning show Betta. She imports them from Thailand periodically, shows them, then sells most of them. They are always gorgeous fish. But there are some breeders in the States, you can find them online or perhaps on Betta forums.
