Well, technically speaking there are four, not three, not strictly classed as fish.
But these are kept in a fish tank, require specific care and specific water parameters and maintenance so therefore are certainly part of the fishkeeping hobby and are perfectly acceptable.
Haha yeah I'm not trying to question their validity as winners, they're really cool and unique. Just found it kinda funny.
Also, when I said three I was talking about the snail and... 2 large crustaceans? I didn't include the axolotl at the time since until I did more surfing on the forums I had no idea what it was XD
so torn between the Discus and the Severum ... in the end the Severum won it for me. Such beautiful fish and I regret not getting one when I had the chance
No betta in this Fish of the Year competition unfortunately.
There have been 5 Bettas that have won Fish of the Month in the past but none from 2014 and no betta has ever won Fish of the Year, just a bit of trivia for you.
There will be at least one betta in next year's competition, Wildbetta won last month's (February) Fish of the Month so her betta will be automatically entered for the Fish of the Year Competition
Have to say Wildbetta's, smaragdina (a type of wild betta) is truly stunning!
