After watching my CT for about two and a half months now, I feel as if it's the only actual "pet" in the tank from amongst ten other fish.

I can appreciate its distinct personality as well as its interesting and amusing behaviour. Even the way he moves sets him apart from the rest. Of course the look as well.

Meanwhile, my Platys and Neon Tetras just come across as colourful background objects.

Anyone else feel the same way?

I've been looking into buying some other types of fish for another tank and I'm curious if there are other fish that stand out with respect to the aforementioned.

-edit. Marine or freshwater suggestions welcome.
 
Some cichlids and imo discus are pretty colourful in terms of looks, but bettas will always be one of my favourites. I love how mine swims up to the front of his tank as if to greet me (or ask for food, of course :lol:) when I go anywhere near the tank :blush: They seem to have their own little personalities where many other fish don't from what I've seen and heard.
 
im going to have to try these bettas out properly cos in 20 years of keeoing fish they do not appeal to me at all

puffers are cool but not community
 
Empire Gudgeons, they get really pretty (especially the males) and are just as intellegent and curious about what your doing around the outside of their tank as bettas. I have some empire gudeoens with my guppies and although the gudeons scoffed the cherry shrimp that where in the tank I am still taken by them. They never fail to stop doing what ever they where doing in the tank and come over to the front of the tank asking for food, but not in such an insane way that the guppies tend to. Purple spotted gudeons are also really pretty but can only be kept with similar sized fish....any thing else becomes lunch.
 
My bettas will flirst with me and all, but when i go downstairs to my larger tanks, I have all the fish at the glass, following me, watching me. Nothign is cuter than 16 baby convicts wiggling their little tails at you. When i check the water params on my oscar tank, the oscars come up and rub on my hand. My bettas never do that. Well, they nibble/.
 
I think ya got it backwards! Betta over a cichlid any day!
