So I was bored today and was watching The Little Mermaid. Napoleon sits on my dresser behind my desk. It's easy for him to see the TV. While i was watching it he pretty much planted himself in the bottom corner easiest to see from. He's not dead/lethargic. Do you guys think he was watching it with me?
Lol my fish does the same. I guess they're amused since it's something new that they're looking at and because it's always moving. I also watched Little Mermaid and for some reason when Ursula came on he'd flare EVERY SINGLE TIME. Apparently he doesn't like her too much lol.
bingo. i guess the flashing moving images get them interested afterall, they're in their bowls 24/7 so anything moving or new in the room is some action to them.
mine does the same. especially when something explodes etc lol. love scenes are less interesting to him :roll: typical MAN!
<-- The betta in my avatar LOVED watching TV. He also loved Christmas lights and would stare mesmorized at my Christmas tree.
In addition to being interested out of curiosity/boredom, I imagine bettas are ingrained to be highly attentive to flashes of color/movement since in the wild that would mean another colorful betta or a predator was in their territory.
My dog will watch some shows, but not cartoons. I used to have guppies that would "dance" when music was on. I wouldn't be surprised if my betta liked TV too, but he is not in a room with a Tv.
I read that and then the batman theme popped into my head... very curious...
I think my boys watch tv with me too. when they're not sleeping.:roll: they must sleep like 18 hours...Oye...
