Fish Fanatic
I am beginning to wonder just what type of influence the colors of a betta have on another betta. I have several mini bow tanks in a row next to each other. Each tank houses two bettas with the divider inserted. The blue and red bettas are in one tank. The blue ignores the red as if it wasn't there and continuously flares up at the multi CT in the next tank. That fish ignores the multi blue with him and flares up at the blue. Both the red and the multi blue explore their tank portion as if nothing was there.
I then put the two couch potato types - sat on the bottom thru everything - together. Needless to say, the one that sat on the bottom the most doing nothing and ignoring the other betta has now become a Dr Jeckyl and Hyde!! Flares, changes color and prowls. The other just ignores him and explores. They will be moved tomorrow to a new mini bow with larger silk plants.
