My beautiful koi betta Bisby has had a jumping spider neighbor taking advantage of her tank light to hunt bugs under for some time, and recently they met face to face! Very happy to capture each of them acknowledging the other - and Bisby's quick look back at me as if to say "you're seeing this too right?!" 🧡
Edit ✨️ For all those concerned, yes, she does have a lid! I'd just cleaned and was hanging out right there where I filmed from at my office desk. If you are new to fish keeping, please invest in a good lid or when picking setups, favor tank kits that include one!
i just woke up, climbed out of bed, then looked down to see this piece of rug that got torn off because of my dogs AND IT LOOKS LIKE BETTA FISH SUGURU AODJSBAODNSINSOSD
This species is very adaptable, as it can be found in clear rocky streams, blackwater peat bogs, acidic swamp forests, and even ponds and roadside ditches. When it comes to mating, the female is the more active participant, initiating courtship and defending her territory.
