My brother has a 1gallon that he keeps a female veiltail betta in (she's perfectly healthy and full of energy. She behaves like a dog by pouting when he leaves the room.

typeof:

Freshwater

Rest of Your Aquariums:

My little brother's is listed under #3. We have an established 3gal that is currently empty due to losing our ghost shrimp fry.

How I got started with aquariums.:

My sis and friend really love fish, I have a phobia of certain types (give me nightmares) so we thought it would be good to do some exposure therapy and start with the not-so-scary fish. So far, I love them, especially the ghost shrimp that we named Luffy because of his adventurousness!

Favorite fish:

Ghost Shrimp named Luffy! Red male veiltail betta, betta in general, and clownfish.

Fish I have bred:

Ghost shrimp. In the process of that though. The two decided on their own really... The babies didn't make it, and the mother died shortly after the fry let go of her.

Why I like fish::

The ones that don't scare me, fascinate me. They have individual personalities, likes, dislikes, favorite foods, etc. And they are much like cats, give them what they need and they don't demand anything more. Plus, they are fun to watch (especially when you put something new into the tank, they are really curious)

Best advice:

Don't try difficult fish first off. And only take on as many as you can handle. My betta has died of his illness. My second one died suddenly. Don't give up, this happens with fish. And parents, don't tell your kid that they can have a dog if they can care for a fish... Fish die suddenly, it's not the kids fault.

Other pets:

Community of dogs, three cats (one outdoor, one indoor,one that goes back and forth. Our fourth one
