I got a beautiful pure yellow from PetsMart about 5 years ago and haven't
seen them anywhere since. I hope you find one. Good luck!

My husband always is dragging me away from the betta place in the
store...but I have looked at the *reg* pet stores and all I ever see are
blue (mixed with some red) or all red, white body w/ some color fins
usually mixed, and some are very pretty but not for breeding,

When I fish shop I leave my dear hubby at home. :-) I always stop to chat
with any workers I know. I like to look over every tank several times and
check out all the new stuff they get in. Having someone with me doesn't
work unless they're another fish freak. We have those same old colors here
as well. I haven't seen a decent green or yellow betta in years. Some are
very poor reds and blues. Some are almost colorless. I'm starting to
wonder if they even cull them before selling them to the wholesalers.

I know a couple
breeders in this area and have got a couple betta's from them, but they
never have black or yellow either, I seen a purple one on the net the
other day but I am wondering if it was just the cam or the way the pic was
taken but it was pretty...

Ordering them online would be costly. They don't offer the $3.99 to $5.99
bettas either. Then you have the shipping charges to consider.
