Underrated: Guppies, colourful, full of character and tough as old boots.. plus a free supply of live food! (just kidding)

Overrated: Bettas. colourful but but dull, dull dull. (Ooh, contraversial!)

Most of the bettas found around here look like torn pices of tissue paper floating in the tank, they just don't do anything..except die of being fin nipped by everything else in the tank if kept in a community, or of boredom if kept alone.

Underrated: Rainbow fish!!

Overrated: Well, Sir Minion took the words right off my keyboard!

 

[Phantom Thief]

lol, SirMinion, look at my sig. Proves you wrong :

Underrated = zebra danios. super hardy, but a lot of people think they are fish just for cycling the tank.

overrated = guppies. dull, boring, common fish.

P.T.

Overrated: Discus... they are very pretty indeed but... they are mightly expensive and really hard to look after... my thought

Underrated: Goldfish! They are easy to look after if you have the proper tank and are real cute

LOL, Sir! I agree, Bettas are sort of over-rated. They're somewhat boring, especially if in a smaller tank (even a one gallon). I did enjoy watching my Betta when he was in my 10-gallon community tank for awhile, though. I still have one Betta, in his own 1-gallon. After he "moves on" though, I probably won't get another (but who knows?).

If I think of other over-rated fish, or some under-rated ones, I'll let you know.
