Wait until you find something spectacular, and then go on and on about how it's rare and gorgeous and you may never find another like it. Works like a charm. That's how I continued to get all mine... doubletails, crowntail females, etc.

Use big betta words. It confuses them

Use words like these:

Crowntail
halfmoon
labyrinth
bubblenest
double ray
steel blue
cambodian

They get confused and agree. If that doesn't work say "look how sad mom! It needs me! Plus, pets teach responsibility!"

Locate a study somewhere that suggests watching fish is calming and reduces blood pressure.
Then say, "You don't want me to die do you?!"

u'd be suprised how many people who work for the fish department get confused by them "big words".

i went to petco and asked if the special ordered betta's and she's like "wut do you mean *special*. i'm like "u kno, crowntail, half moons, plakats, doubletails....." you should have seen the look on her face..... so she says "uhh...ask that lady over there by the front desk". i still loved the look on her face when i said that though.....

the funny thing was, is that there WASN'T a lady any where near the front desk!
