Anybody Keeping a Marine Betta?

[Quinster]

I have had my Betta for almost 6 years and it is one of my favorite fish of all times. The hiding is a both a plus and a minus...I don't know if it would be my favorite if I got to see it all the time, but when it does come out, it sure does attract attention from anyone who see's it.

It reacts almost as if it knows it is the center of attention...is swims to dead center of the tank, flairs it's pectoral and dorsal fins, does a big mouth gulp...then it is out for the evening. Very personable fish, and it takes krill right from my fingers (with some patience)

As for the lighting affecting it, during the day it will come out when the halides are on, but it is definatly more active in the evenings with the lower lighting.
