Betta Fish: I think after this, I’ll never go back to long-finned bettas.

I've always owned long-finned varieties of Bettas. I still has my halfmoon boy in another tank. This is my first time having a plakat and I'm honestly in awe.

I genuinely can’t believe how active, curious, and athletic she is. She’s like a betta on steroids, in the best way possible. She’s constantly moving, exploring every inch of the tank with endless energy and confidence. She doesn’t care about the other fish at all. The only time she shows any interest to tankmates is when she notices shrimp moving around, but even then she doesn’t chase or try to catch them, just curiosity.

And above all what really surprised me is how intelligent she is. She learned her first trick in a single try. One try. I’ve never seen a fish pick something up that fast..

I hope I can give her a long, healthy life.
