Where did you get a BLACK betta fish? I would love to have a black betta. I just bought two bettas today - a purple, lavender, blue, and crimson crown tail, and a peacock blue regular betta. Are there stores around here that sell black bettas, or did you special order one?

Per your request, I will not ask about Studmuffin ;)

We found him at the Petco here in Longmont. That's the only place we've seen black ones.


Studmuffin tried to spawn with a piece of floating rotala. ;)

I should check out the Petco in Westminster. It's not too far of a drive from where I'm at (North Denver). Different chains carry different stuff, and I've only used Petsmart and the Fish Den (great store).

Hahaha! Sounds like my poodle Larry, who actually air humps. He humps . . . nothing at all! Just does this ridiculous humping walk.
 
I LOVE naming my fish, can't imagine not!

Right now I've got two bettas named Whale and Zeppelin (it's not a Led Zeppelin reference, he's just a bit round :p)
 
Freshwater:
Orange GloFish - Torpedo
Male Guppy - Ctanley
Albino Bristlenose Pleco - Herbert
(Late) Pink GloFish - Twinkle Persephone (the special ones get middle names, well, they get middle names when we need to scold them for being mean)

Saltwater:
Damsels - Magnum, Lemmy, Ruckus, Butch, and Sarge (full name is Sergeant A-hole)
Cave Goby - Dusty
Two-Spot Goby - Jetson
Firefish Goby - Flash
Mandarin Goby - Manny (my girlfriend named this one)
Bi-Color Blenny - Dantrell
Green Clown Goby - Midgee
Bangai Cardinals - Inky, Pinky, Blinky, and Sue

We try to let our fish "earn" their names. For example, this is how Dusty got his name:
