I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who thinks of her bettas as little people with unique personalities. When I try to explain them to others, most people give me a strange look.. haha. My two bettas, Pico and Pica, are wonderful little companions for a girl in the military.
Pica is the red betta shown on my icon. He's like a puppy dog, not very aggressive at all. He rarely flares, instead 'dancing' around at the front of his home when he sees me, begging for food. When he notices the routine which he knows as feeding time, he'll fly across his container so fast it's amusing.
Pico is a purple male betta, my first in years.. and a very aggressive, grumpy one at that. He loves to show off and flare whenever he sees me. He'll jump out of the water and slam into my finger whenever he gets the chance, and has to constantly be covered due to his acrobatics. He's survived a long car ride from Biloxi, MS to Orlando, and then back north to Panama City without health problems.. and I'm glad. He's a funny little guy who refuses to understand who's really boss around the apartment. <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
