First of
all I have to say, great site. I love how in depth it is!
I've spent hours here reading everything there is to
know about Bettas. I never realized how attached to a
fish a person could become until I got my pet store mutt. A
few weeks ago I decided I needed a buddy to pass the
time at my office. So I got a red crowntail, and named him
Jack B. Fish. He's such an adorable little
piglet, he's always begging for food whenever I come up to his
tank. One of my coworkers adores Jack too. She
comes up to his tank and waves her hands and says in a
high-pitched voice "Hi Jack! Hi Jack!" He
seems to enjoy her company, he comes right up to her, swims
frantically and then he kind "hops" not a jump
exactly, but just a tiny hop. He only does it when she
does her little "Hi Jack!" routine. Everyone in
my office thinks we're crazy talking to a fish. They say that
he's either flaring at her or we're really scaring the daylights
out of him. He's not flaring like he would at a mirror so
we maintain that he hops because he likes her. :)
