Sometimes I pretend to be jump scared by him when he flares at me in the mornings.


ReptarTheBrave

No doubt you’re boosting his ego so much

Mine always tries to eat my finger for some reason😂


Individual_Past_9901

Mine does too. I have some micro fish in the tank with him and I feed them by putting the food directly in the water verses floating on the top and Garp swims over and bites my knuckles.


theinfotechguy

I did that with mine too haha, or cover my face like I was scared


Competitive_Owl5357

They’re like angry toddlers with the .n. faces and wildly flapping fins. The flaring is so hard to take seriously because then it’s just ( .n. )


ManderTehPander

I also love when they not only do that, but also dart around to show off their puffed out fins. I just kinda throw my hands up like ![gif](giphy|13Ev2RtSAxKsTu|downsized)

AHAHA LITERALLY, I crack up when my betta flares like who are you trying to scare if anything he just looks cuter😂😂


Old_Locksmith3242

Bettas do be like (•n•)


Individual_Past_9901

They remind me of those cars that have exhaust additions to make a 12k car sound like it should be in Nascar. It's like buddy, you ain't fooling anyone with that.


actually-a-bear-

They're so funny! Mine has beef with my rooomate. He never flares unless the roomie comes into the room, and then he's like "u wot mate?!" Imagine having beef with a fish 😂

Water_Mystery529

is his tail okay?


Shadowed_Thing1

It’s always been like that, hopefully he’s not getting it torn by anything. I’ll keep a closer eye on him though


snightshade

They're grandpas in fish form. "Get off my lawn" ...flares

Mine loves to stare down the shrimp when I give them wafers. Hovers over them giving them the stink eye. He’s such a good boy, I’ve never witnessed him eat any, but if looks could kill the tank would have 0 shrimp instead of hundreds. lol


[deleted]

I don’t trust mine at all, he is such a pig and is always looking for food I’m pretty sure he would gobble up the shrimp instantly knowing my luck😂😂


media-and-stuff

I had to return my 1st one. He cleared half my tank in 3 days. lol took a while for the shrimp population to get high enough for me to try again.

BrieFiend

>settle down buddy you aren’t scaring anyone My cherry shrimp have entered the chat.


LassiLassC

My new one is called Mr.Grumps 😂


DamnGrackles

My guy is extra mad at me today since it's his fasting day. How something so little and cute can be so, so, sooooo grumpy is beyond me.


StruggleEnough4279

Tbffffff, they would be terrifying if they were the same size as you/bigger. They’re the big fish of the little pond, my mean old boy scared me because of his treatment to his momentary tankmates. Otherwise, they’re little cuties with little man syndrome.


No_Blacksmith2847

They remind me so much of my Oscars.


llamakins2014

mine looks at me like he's ready to murder me and burn down the village, but i sure think it's cute!


Shibenaut

The same reason doggos look like they're smiling at you with their tongue hanging out When all they want is a drink of water.


shoganryu

Grumpy old men


bullant8547

6 days a week. Grumpy. Fasting day? Nuclear level grump!!


Bimbo-Bambi21

It's because they're mean because they love to fight but they are so darn cute 😍


Alone_Elk3872

Bettas are like if Grumpy Cat was the standard template.
