Thanks! Absolutely.... They each have their own personas for sure. I love when they do their "tough guy" dance.
They are intelligent fish too. There is no doubt in my mind they know who runs the show and how to beg that person for food. Lol
I hope this isn't against etiquette, but the only other posts i saw like this were very old.
I just wanted to start a thread for people to show off their bettas. I would love to see them all! Names and types if you have/know them and feel like it. Whether they are varients of betta splendens or...
I think maybe they are thinking of an opaline gourami? I agree the pygmies/sparkling should be fine in your tank. The sexes are something to watch out for though, for sure.
Just as the title says. Over 20 years in the hobby l, and I've kept everything from giant danios to polypterus -- and a lot in between.
I have found myself absolutely infatuated with certain types of Bettas recently. Right now my favorite fish i own is a platinum silver/black dragon halfmoon...
I was so used to bettas growing up, and so accustomed to seeing them everywhere that I have disregarded them entirely for years. I would get annoyed when someone would suggest them, because they are so obvious.
I have to say, after a couple of youtube videos of people's setups and noticing...
So I will admit that I snubbed the idea of a betta earlier in this thread. At least for this tank.
I would feel dishonest if i didn't show that person this:
They 'can, possibly'. Saying 'they will' is a bit fear mongerish... Hasn't been much of an issue so far. If it becomes one, they'll get their own little tank.
Thank you, though.
I'm starting to too, hardcore. I'm going to see how it works out. I'm buying another tank tomorrow that will be at least a 20long. Right now everything is getting along great and working together perfectly... We'll see what happens and I'll make the necessary changes when/if they need to occur...
