Solaris (Male Yellow Veiltail) is my latest addition to my bettas, i’m now up to 4, and each one has their own unique personality (or is that fishionality?)
Solaris has a major attitude, he wasn’t in his tank more than 10 minutes when he started attacking the brown ramshorn snails because they annoyed him and were in his tank, i don’t think he knows he’s not a shark, but a 3" fish that weighs a few ounces…
Goldrush is a yellow with black spots male Double-Ray Crowntail, and if he were any more laid-back, he’d be in a coma, unless the red ramshorn snail he’s decided he hates crawls within view, he doesn’t care about any of the other occupants of the tank, the Apple snail or the Bamboo shrimp, but if that red ram crawls by, look out…
Chiana is an extremely possesive white/red/purple crowntail female, she is the master of the entire tank she shares with Zhann, she has to eat all the food first before Zhann notices it, and she defends “her” tank against those nasty finless bipeds who want to steal her tank, she just knows it…, Zhann true to her namesake is nonconfrontational and passive
and i’ve noticed my non-fish pet in the other 10 gallon tank, Zoidberg, my Florida Common crayfish is a crafty lil crusteacan, he’ll take a shrimp pellet, flake off pieces and let them drift in the current of the tank, luring in the guppies that serve as his food, yep that’s right, he goes “fishing”…
who said you needed a spinal collumn to be intelligent?
