The problem with reptiles is that they are simply not much fun. For the most part, they are around and are not really interact with you at all. They also generally require expensive heating component and can smell bad if it is not supported frequently.

I do recommend a small tank on the small bowl, they come in so you do not have to change the water every day, but the tank can be much smaller than the other fish need.

- They are amazingly friendly and lively. Bettas will soon learn to recognize their manager and "dance" around when they see you. They are happy to follow your finger around play and play for you.
