DIFFERENT PERSONALIT­IES

-

It’s easy to assume that since bettas are called “fighting fishes”, they’re all just aggressive by default. Apparently, not so. They all have different personalit­ies and little quirks that make them all unique.

“Some are docile, some are really aggressive swimmers, [and] some jump for their food when they see your hand on top of their tank. Most of them go towards the front tank when they see you,” says Czarina.

She shares with us a story of how she gave a friend two betta fishes. They were, in her words, “very, very, and I mean very docile.” Her friend placed them in a tank together and during feeding time, they would “go towards the front tank together side by side.” Talk about adorable.
