What Do Your Bettas Do?

[MermaidMel]

Jai, he goes from just sitting for aaaaaaages doing nothing to have a mad wiggle and a wriggle then goes back to sitting for ages again lol

Rufus spends all of his time in the same corner of his glass house watching my every move but constantly flapping his 'wing fins' lol. He rests in a plant or on his bridge at night

Kai the new boy is like a statue, he occasionally glides through the water, but other than that you wouldn't even know he's real!

 

[devon_charm]

Too many to list them all, but here are a couple

Punk likes to play hide and seek, more than once i have nearly had a fit because i couldn't find him, he is very interactive and follows you as much as he can

Wiggy is the cutest he is so laid back he doesn't flair or any thing and if you stick your finger in his water he comes over to have a look he also takes white worm from my fingers

Burt and Big Red are really active and flair at every thing that moves the wiggle when i go over until the realise its food time then i have their full attention

Dougie is my fav boy he will swim round and round my finger and always comes over to say hi

Right that will do

My PK male doesn't even appear to be a betta, unless with another of his kind I took him out of his divided tank with my HM Thai and put him into the community tank to see his reaction. He's playing in the bubbles, swimming against the current of the filter and trying to school with the danios. So, I've left him in there since he's much happier than being in the divided tank.

Thai, loves the big space he now has and generally flares at anything. Even feeding time is a flaring time. He's so silly, lol. He'll sit about and have mad moments as well, as you were saying about Jai. But everytime I go near the tank he comes up flaring then stops and watches everything I'm doing.

The CT does nothing. He's still ignorant and sits in his cave all the time. I rarely see him.

 

[Straydum]

if think mine tries to talk to me. lol.

 

[AJGray]

mine follows meabout the room, hes got used to a big tank now and when he wants some attention he swims back and forward at the front of the tank

when we have people round he fullyflares up to show off dead funny when he bit beard comes out! hehe

 

[woodog]

Mine swims around a lot, and comes to the top front when I'm around (for food & attention). He hangs out in plants and does half flares for short periods. Builds his nest, see's his reflection, etc.

 

[llamalord305]

Whenever I come into the room, he starts to swim to the side of his tank, then the other side, and back and forth. At high speed. He's fighting some fin rot, so when I hold my finger there he stops and flares, so I inspect his fins. He sometimes likes to ride the bubbles from the bubbler up like an elevator.

spawn like crazy, well the ones that like eachother

Mine likes to swim around. And when he sees me come into the room, he paces around until I approach the tank, then he hides. lol He is really shy, and if I put my finger up to the front, he shies away. Though he is an avid bubble-nest maker lol.

 

[juiced1300]

One thing I've noticed lately is that if I sit near my tank and eat, one of my boys, Comet, will watch me chew and he will open and close his mouth at me like he's trying to act like me. If i stop chewing he wont do it, then i start and he starts doing it again too. I thought maybe he was hungry so i put a little bit of food in his tank and he didnt even touch it, so either he's just making fun of me or he thinks i'm talking and he's trying to tell me to speak up cause he cant hear me lol.

 

[afishdude]

i have one that does nothing, and one thats alwase swimming around and playing.

 

[Samphire]

Custard just stares out looking very bored, Rhubarb is very active wiggling all over the place. The girls gather to my side when I sit in chair - and love their bellies being stroked ... wierd ehhh .. I put hand in and they come to me and rub tummys over my palm and fingers.

Jah is pictured in my avatar, he likes to hide under his indian almond leaf and blow bubbles.
He swims to the front of the tank when he sees someone walk past and rarely pays any attention to his apple snail tank mates. Although, he did seem to enjoy watching them when i first added them to the tank.

 

[Robotochan]

"Friendly" (my brother chose the name) likes to sit on the sand all curled up in his fins or likes to get stuck in the dense Vallis in the corner of the tank. Until he sees someone walking past the tank, then he'll come up to the side and either flares up, does a little dance or looks at them for a couple of seconds then wanders off. He's been having showdowns with a mollie recently, I'm trying to keep the territory borders loose until all my stuff for the tank arrives, ordered some Hemianthus Callitrichoides which looks amazing

I have 5, so this might be long. LOL!

Males!
Bubbles:

He copies everything I do! It's soo cute! If I shake my head near his bowl, he'll shake his whole body & get super hyper! Hehe! & if I open & close my mouth (like what goldfish do), he'll do the same it's soo cute. Looks like he's yawning!
He also loves getting attention!

Puddles:
Haha, if I'm taking pictures of him, he'll flare at the camera! Silly boy!
He also loves hiding under his plant...he LOVES it. I find him there most of the time! So cute.

Caesar:
He RARELY flares...he's really a calm boy, actually. Well sometimes he flares at the camera if I'm taking pictures, but other than that he's super calm & sweet! He loves to jump for his food too, LOL!

Females!

Raindrop:
Well, she has swimbladder disease (which I have been taking care of very well). But she's VERY hyper! She always has been, LOL. When I give her the pellets (food by Hikari), she looks like a shark when she eats! LOL it's so cute.

Crystal:
Crystal is a very good girl; except sometimes she can be a little greedy! She eats like a shark too, LOL it's funny
She's a little overweight but I'm taking care of it & lowering her diet a bit. Doing well!
She swims very fast, sometimes it's hard to see her LOL!

Well, there 'ya go. That's my lil Betta clan. LOL. 8)
