they are all so great in their own individual ways.
my old red guy is very lazy these days. he plays very well with the other fish in his tank. love to "cuddle" with the cories and try to steal their food pellets.. also sleeps sideways on the crypt in the tank. first time i saw it, i thought he was in a bad way..but thats how he relaxes i guess. like a lounge chair. very cute stuff. also the MOST inquisitive of any of my fish. goes absolutely MENTAL for peas. about the only thing that can get him zooming around these days(hes at LEAST three years old. had him over two and was fulllly grown in body and finnage when i acquired him). he also has completely given up flaring..too old to be bothered i guess..used to flare at a mirror, but not for a wile now. maybe he has figured out the "game" and couldnt be bothered..wouldnt surprise me, hes pretty clever..my grumpy old man
my second oldest is crazy. he must spend 3-4 hours a day flaring at the apple snails in his tank. does not flare at a mirror, rather runs and hides from his reflection. he also flares at the plants, the bubbles from the filter, a camera if i try to take photos or anything i put next to the tank (loves to flare at the nitrite drops when they go into the tubes on testing days)..silly guy. EVERYTHING is the suspect. but especially the snails. glad he can keep himself occupied
he also absolutely refuses to eat pellets. god knows ive tried
my little guy is a zoomer. always swimming around and checking things out. he also (like most bettas) always thinks its feeding time when im near the tank. he also takes rides in the bubbles from the sponge filter. that is really fun to watch! cracks me up. he also thinks the syphon is a circus ride, so i have to be especially careful at waterchanges.
none of my fish have names, but i talk to them allll the time. say good morning at lights on and good night lights out.
i could go on and on and on...but i wont
cheers
