Do you prefer Bettas or Guppies

[SnowyzMom]

Okay, burn me in effigy if you want to...but I've seen a LOT of boring coloured Bettas. Not my Jack, but some are right dingy, all one colour, rather drab....now guppies ....I have solid no bars iridescent ones, ones iridescent with orange, iridescent with leopard spots on the tail-yellow and blue ones, half blacks, oranges, blues, greens, yellows(these last 3 are females and they rule, with iridescence down their sides, real healthy) oh and one iridescent with lavender top fin...awesome, curious, friendly fish, every one of them.

I'm sad to hear Bettas don't live very long . I hope Jack lives for 20 years! He rules. Oh and he's in a 5 gallon all to himself except for two quiet Ottocinclus who are right little piggies and now have pot bellies! I couldn't keep a Betta or any fish in a tiny 1 gallon or less, I'm sorry it seems so mean. He's got snails and live plants for company too. So while I feel Bettas can be stately and ornamental, if you can find nice coloured ones...for sheer vivacy it's GUPPIES ALL THE WAY!

I am a fan of Bettas and Guppies so I have to say neither. They have their cons and pros, but I jest can't tell whitch one I like most!

I changed my mind to guppies. Because there is nothing wrong with them and its horrible that people pick on them. Theyre definetly more colorful. You can keep them w/eachother and they wont kill eachother. I love my bettas, and Im getting another one, but guppies are better.

I'm not really a fan of those fishes..so neither.

Well I have both, but Bettas are my favorite as I breed them (well the guppies breed too, but that takes no effort on my part, hehe).
