Betta wants to attack my cats!

[betta80]

My betta, Charles, definitely knows who the predators are in the house and it's pretty funny. I have two cats and held them up near his tank just so they could get a look-see. He instantly flared his gills and fins out and started acting aggressive, as though he saw another male betta.

Smart fish. :) I didn't know they flared out like that around predators!

Laffs....yeap...gotta make yourself look bigger to make you think twice before you try to eat me...lol....

My Bettas....I think the cats drop food in the grow out tank on the bottom rack that the cats drink out of...because when the cats get close to that tank all the juvie swim over and gather under the cats as they lap the water and peck at the cats tongue and paws hanging in the water...funny to watch.....

I did a test and found a big teddy bear and held it in front of the tank. No reaction. I guess I have to wake up pretty early in the morning to fool this guy. :)
