I went to petsmart yesterday because I needed a pick me up from my bad day (So many things went wrong, including a car accident >.<) the other day so I'm lookin around at the bettas and I see this beautiful male who's got this light white/peach body with maroon coming out from the inside of his fins and then going to transparent color. I say to my boyfriend Rob.."I want that fish O__O it's goreous..." So we get him and then I bring him home and put him into my new 10 gal tank that I evicted my hermit crabs from (Rinsed out and everything) and I put some other fish in. Well he doesn't do much but just stay basically in the same area so I decide..maybe it's because it's not as warm as my 20 gal tank (my new 10 gal hasn't got a heater yet but I'm getting one soon) so I put him in the 20 gal. Then that's when it changed. He went commando agressive on every fish I have in that tank and I watched him do this before I took him out because I didn't think he'd actually do much. He bit at my mollies (never had a betta do this) charged my 4" blue gourami who just smacked him with his little feeler things and scared him, swam after my cories, and completely ignored my other bettas. After he bit my ancient black molly male, Slider, I was just like....OKAY!....this fish has some issues and put him into my molly breeding cage in the same tank. After leaving him in there for about a half hour and letting him get used to the other fish swimming by him I let him out to try again and he did absolutely nothing since. I found it kind of funny but geeze, I've never had a betta take aggression out on any of my other fish other than the bettas because they're usually freaked out by the size...but not Skippy. Now he just ignores everyone pretty much lol ^^; end of meh schpeel
