Aquarium Advice Addict
What is the smartest freshwater fish that can be kept as a pet? I know that fish can't take IQ tests so I just want your opinion. I've heard a variety of answers: oscars, cichlids, discus, bettas, etc. My vote would go to betta fish because all my bettas have different personalities and I can easily tell what they enjoy doing. My female betta finds it amusing to taunt my male betta next to her. My other betta starts biting me and jumping at my finger whenever it's over his tank. I can just see the thoughts going through their minds and they're always so interested in everything outside their tanks. They're also very inquisitive. That's why my vote goes to bettas. Anyone know any other fish that are as smart or smarter?
