my beta, Mr. Beta, is the best pet I ever had in my 25 years life. Ive had a 3 cats, a love bird, and a dog, and never in my life would i thought a Beta fish would inspire me to get up in the morning to feed him just so i can see him get happy, flare and blow buble at me. and the worse part out of all this, Mr. Beta will live maybe 2 more years, got him as a baby a few months ago and they are rated 2-3 years on average. My stupid cats lived, 16yers, 2 yers, 6 yers (current one) stupid love bird 7 years, stupid dog 8 years.. smart fish, 2 years i guess

i was never sad when any of my pets died, they were all loveable, the lovebird was sweet and played. the cats were sweet but were just cats.. the dog was just (give me the bone, let me jump on you, ooo get the kitty!) mr. beta is like (HI YOU DO WHAT I SAY, SEE ME PUFF UP I AM GREAT. WATCH ME BUILD BUBBLE NEST OR DIE. TURN PUMP ON AT NIGHT SO I DONT HAVE TO SWIM WHILE SLEEPING. DONT IGNORE ME OR I WILL THROW A TEMPER TANTRUM THE REST OF THE DAY. FLARE, FLARE, FLARE, FLARE - I AM DOMINATE DONT FORGET IT.) i find aggressive pet that knows what it wants very appealing
