hanging together

(Hannibal is a Siamese Betta, who lunges and attacks his food with great gusto! He’s a top-feeder and a loner. Squirt is a Swordtail Guppy, who pecks and nibbles everywhere along the bowl. He’s a friendly fish who enjoys companionship.  

Most authorities say that betta fish are too aggressive and territorial to be kept in close quarters with fishes. Just goes to show you….you can’t always believe what you read or what you hear.)
