   i love that i know my fish so well like the fact that when i feed him i have to leave the room. if i stay in the room he won’t eat. and that when he goes to the bottom of the fish tank he’s nervous. when i first got him i was in the car and he would be at the bottom for the whole time. AND H IS SO PRETTY!! I LOVE HIM

   I got my betta to liven up my dorm room. I thought he’d be goldfishy and swim around lazily all the time. I was surprised to find he had quite a personality! I’d have to say that my favourite thing about him is the way he manages to constantly surprise me, even though he’s just a fish. The day I took him home it was night-time and I thought he was blue, but when the sun came in the next morning, he was actually bright purple! I thought only small children liked to keep fish, but I realized that I’m very attached to Arby. I’ll be sad if something happens to him.

   My daughters Betta (Blue. short for Blue-octane)), is very active. I love his color, deep blue, with a vibrant red in his tail. Looks like fire when the light catches him! His tail is very beautiful & full, like a giant fan!

   He has quite the personality! He is very curious. When we feed him (always from the same side of the tank); he is always right there! Usually coming right to the surface close to the spot where fingers drop in the pellets! When we take pictures of him, he will swim right in front of the camera,. Many times just floating there watching us as much as we are watching him! He is not shy!

   I love to watch him make bubble nests, he goes crazy swimming back & forth. Sometimes he even covers most of the edges of the entire 10 gallon tank! (Busy fellow!)
   He has a cave that has an entrance & a window…he likes to hide there a lot, also going in & out. He always catches the “jet stream”…riding the “flow” of the water filter is a favorite past-time of his! Body surfing , fish style!
   My daughter calls him her “crazy” fish! He seems like hes having a blast!

   My favorite thing about Bettas are how interactive and beautiful they are. My betta, Comet is a great pet. I recently put Java Fern in his tank and the sizes of his bubble nests have increased! Everytime I go up to his tank, he quickly swims over to me and greets me with his “feed-me dance.”

   I always feel bad when I have to destroy his lovely bubble nests when I have to clean his tank.

   I love how whenever I go up to his tank, he’ll swim up to the front and stare at me for a really long time. and also how he swims around near the top all excitedly when he knows i’m gonna feed him.
