My Betta Tried To Eat My Girlfriend!

[JasonU]

Last week my girlfriend went to re-attach the water heater to the back of the tank after it had come off. She said she was distracted by a noise outside in the street, she tried to see what the commotion was, a couple of seconds of max.

The next thing she felt a strange nipping on her finger, she looked down and saw Tom, our betta trying to eat her. She reckons he looked genuinely disappointed when she removed her hand from the tank.

She does not see the funny side of this, me on the other half, I think that it is hilarious.

Bronson literally attacks my fingernails if I have bright nailpolish on, and regularly jumps out of the water to bite me. I didn't name him after Britains most notorious violent prisoner for nothing!

I always think that when they do things like that they must appreciate all the hard work we do keeping them.

We were discussing what our different animals owould do if we were burgled. We reckon Tom the betta would flare at the burglers but could easily become their best freinds if they fed him. If they fed him dried food he would be out the tank and get medieval on them though.

My betta nips my fingers all the time. I think it's really cute. It's because I feed him and he associates me with food, but I think he would try putting anything in his mouth once just to see what it tastes like. Greedy fish
