Betta than what??

I phoned a pet store this week who recently had a good weekend sale on :o and said I had two crown tails and did they have a double betta display. The assistant (who was described as the 'fish expert') said 'sorry I don't understand, better than what?' :lol: :lol: :lol:

Yeah I said something about a 'betta' to a staff member at the same chain store. He also didn't understand until I said "Siamese Fighting Fish." They must have some kind of in-house training system that only ever refers to betta splendens as Siamese Fighting Fish.

Personally I object to calling them "fighting fish." It would be like calling certain breeds of dog in a pet shop "fighting dogs"... surely we want to discourage this stereotype?
