I used to have a royal blue beta, I had it for a couple of years. The cats were fascinated with it, obviously!

Nice capture of the fish Vern. Great show of bubbles at the top.

Our daughter always had pet Bettas in college.

My son has a very similar one, that they kept in a bowl for a very long time. Now it's in the big tank with a number of other fish, but only the one Betta.

I've always been amazed how they can live so long in just a tiny bowl.

Neat capture of this strange (to me) fish.
