Hally M. Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 I love bettas SO much!! I’ve kept them for a long time and would confidentially Say their my favorite fish. What kind do you have?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luciferkrist Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 I originally disliked them as they always looked so gaudy, and the idea of keeping a fish by themselves in a tiny bowl never appealed to me. Than I learned how they are SUPPOSED to be cared for and the more natural/wild type varieties. Then fell in love with the 'Alien' type - been looking for a few months for a pair of blue/turquoise, or maybe silver for a tank I have just waiting for them. Looking forward to getting them eventually, and maybe try my hd at breeding them - I know that they being hybrids means they have a very low chance of being viable, but damn if I wont try!

Sultrysamurai Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 What’s your advice on least aggressive type of betta? I know you have to be careful selecting tank mates regardless, but curious if your experience has shown one kind to be more aggressive then another.

If you want an alien betta I recommend you look at aquahuna and keepfishkeeping.com I have ordered from both of them and received healthy good looking bettas hat I still have two this day ( and the last time I ordered form them was about 7 years.But I like going to the store better.)

Personally I've found it to be more gender than type- Females have been IME less aggressive than the males. This isn't always true- but the vast majority of the time I've had luck with that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zzsharks Posted October 13, 2022 Author Share Posted October 13, 2022 I do the test to see if they flare with males Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sultrysamurai Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 @Zzsharks is that just putting your finger up to them and seeing if they flare? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
