You're gonna get a lot of betta lovers complainin you missed "the best fish ever!" Just warning ya.. hehe. I go for gouramis, mine have SOOOO much personality!
i've never had a male betta but I have to say that female bettas are my favorite fish and ive only had mine for like 3 days SO MUCH PERSONALITY i love her
i said others, puffer fish are the best and have a spoon full of personality! mine was in such a hurry to eat today that when my hand was holding his planktin over the tank he acually jumped out of the tank trying to grab a bite, i threw him back in and he gobbled his food right up.i just love that little guy.
