Hello everyone!

Finally I have some not-very-good pictures to show you guys. I was on a hike, so now it is almost 10:00 PM and dark....so that's why the pictures aren't the greatest. I'll get more tomorrow.

Thank you guys!
Do any of you have Bettas?

Is it just me, or do fish have personalities too?

1. He gets excited when I start looking at him closely.
2. He knows when I'm about to give him food.
3. He knows exactly where the food gets dropped in and swims to that place to wait for it.

There are other things I'm forgetting. He's so cute!

I have one. A blue crowntail female named Ozark. She's in a 2.5 gallon with heater, filter, and moss balls. She's not very people - oriented like some of my others have been. But I have had some who I've been able to teach tricks and loved me..............all have their own personalities

I'm glad I'm not crazy. Well, Blue Boy seems to be very friendly and I'm glad!

I'm going to teach him tricks as soon as he settles in for a few more days. What do you think is the best trick to start with?

 

[AltonaAcres]

I started with the one where you either pinch a pellet of food or have it grasped between tweezers and you hold it right over (like 1 millimetre if possible) over the surface of the water and they'll jump to get it........................very fun trick. You can start holding the food higher and higher above the water and it's thrilling when they leap and grab the food

I used to have a betta fish, I bought this fake leaf that suctions to the side of the tank, and my fish loved sleeping on it lol
