His name is Periwinkle!!! Wink for shortView attachment 156223

He is so beautiful!
Same name, how funny! Mine was Peri for short. He spoke a couple phrases, "Pretty bird" and "What cha doin" and numerous renditions of a wolf whistle.

I made a halfhearted attempt lol. I had heard that they won’t talk if they have a friend, and he’s always had a friend.

The problem is that for a fancy betta like that, the natural habitat for a couple of centuries has been a jar...
They don't occur in any biotope but a human one.
