My Betta Rueben in our 10 gallon swims to the surface so we can pet him lol. He's great!

[@mrsprimetimeaquatics5497]

Aww!!! That’s awesome!

[@jaredd9206]

My rose petal saucy does the same. Think he watched me petting the dogs one too many times

[@CapedCrusader03]

My betta does this too! Lol

[@rhyanlumilay6317]

I have several small fishes and all this time the only fish that I can say has the most noticeable personality are bettas, my present betta loves to sit on the substrate, betta hammock or over the plants he seldom swims because he easily becomes tired because of his long fin and tails so he will just move his eyes to scan around his tank and flap his fin to let me know that he can see me.

[@ariannasorrentino4430]

Nice fish but humans and fish has different temperature you can burn fish with your hands

[@rondecaro]

Just wanted to drop by and say that the two of you are easily the nicest fishtubers on the platform. Thank you for your knowledge and all of your hard work and advice. Rock on.

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

Thank you very much! Glad you are here!

[@rondecaro]

@@PrimeTimeAquatics Your love of the betta may second to mine. I have many and they all do fantastic in each of they're settings. One of the best "community " fish if you do it right.

[@chewyfan7745]

Our Green terror and our angelfish all come to the front of the tank when they see us. The green terror dances around showing off all the colors. And the angels just wanna be talked to and noticed. Love the fish when they have this big personalities. Great video as always guys. God bless you and yours and stay safe

[@shesellsfish]

Of all 7, the betta wins hands down. They really do have very distinctive personalities. 👍💓👍

[@mrsprimetimeaquatics5497]

Yes they do! Will always love them ☺️☺️☺️

[@StaceyHerewegrowagain]

The blue tilapia looks awesome too. Love its facial expressions and lips. Lol Interesting personality it seems they have too. So cool!

[@debrad1979]

I think a blood parrot has great personality. They are so goofy. Thanks for the great video, guys! Happy Monday!

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

Yes! They sure do!

[@littlemidwestrebornsdolls]

At the moment, my favorite is the Betta. I truly enjoy learning about the different types of fish. When the day comes that I have more space, there are a lot of fish I may try. Thank you.

[@audrisampson]

The most personable fish I've ever been around is a RedTail Catfish. Put fins on a golden retriever and you have a RTC. Pet it, hand feed it and met one once that played with my fingers with it's antenna.

[@DankDaHerbalist]

Did u keep it? What was ur set up???

[@audrisampson]

@@DankDaHerbalist , It wasn't mine sadly. My dad had him in a 600 gallon indoor pond that was 6ft by 6ft.

[@mrsprimetimeaquatics5497]

Aww!!! How fun! And big enough to take for a walk around the block too!😂

[@terrymartins2552]

Great choices!!! Love them all. My favorite would be the pea puffers.

[@wendihamlett105]

I have bettas and pea puffers and can’t agree more! Looking forward to getting shellies in the near future! Great list.

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

Cool fish!

[@mrsprimetimeaquatics5497]

Right?! And that’s so funny, I’ve been thinking of the same thing..shellies would be fun on my wall too ☺️

[@thegoldfishking7954]

Goldfish too have one of the best personalities

[@DankDaHerbalist]

Interesting! Never kept and would have never thought that!

[@karenwolfsen]

My fancies are super friendly! Several of them Love to be pet! My koi too! He’s like a puppy !

[@merlijn-lottekrommenhoek4389]

Couldn't agree more! And they are super long lived as well. One of my fancies that passed away a few months ago at the noble age of 9 ate the Repashi gellies right out of my hand. He would swim up to the surface and open his mouth so I could feed him. He is greatly missed after so many years, but I still have my other goldies in my living room tank. They bring joy to my life and my fish keeping hobby every day (except cleaning day lol)!

[@rhyanlumilay6317]

My Ranchu's seems like a puppies they are curious with my hand while doing water change and they are not elusive when I try to boop their Wen and pat their sides, the only thing I don't like about them is if they know that I just cleaned their tank they will began to poop again to annoy me.

[@riektherocker6837]

If you think dogs or cats are the pets that beg most for food and look cute while they do, then try getting goldfish lol It takes steel nerves not to overfeed those cute fat blobs of mine😂

[@soogymoogi]

Dojo loaches! Aside from bettas they're the most personable fish I've owned. I can hand feed mine, they love to come up and nibble me whenever I adjust my decor and plants or clean the tank... and one of them liked to "tease" my cat 😹 This reminds me of my mom's betta Stanley who flared at me once after I got a haircut too, lmao

[@StaceyHerewegrowagain]

Wow!! I'm so glad this video popped up lol. These are so amazing lol.. Pea puffers, I need some for those lol.. now I need to haunt my husband about putting another tank around the house.. I love the Oscar's too! I always wanted one! I had a few friends that raised a lot of them.. they were so cool and interactive, but I know they needed a huge tank lol. Thanks for sharing. Love the unique bumbs on the heads of the big guys.

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

Sounds like you're going to have multiple tanks soon :-)

[@adamwaind5057]

Ranchus have an amazing personality, they have such a goofy swim and they love people.

[@N16D]

Same thing with malamutes!

[@MarvinTheMusicMan]

I have a long fin tiger oscar who is like a moody teenager. I also have a lemon oscar in another tank who loves to swim around my hand when I swirl it in the water.

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

I'm really liking the lemon oscars!

[@salvolondon]

Great video . I'd add to this list also goldfish . I have a 3 years old blackmoor and she defiantly has such a personality , she recognize people , she is super tame .

Yay for bettas!! Have a great week ☺️

[@August_Duwell]

Great video! Wish I had a big enough tank to keep Oscars. They're so awesome

[@mattkinsella9856]

I had a powder blue dwarf gourami and he would watch me from his tank all day as I worked and he always wanted my attention. I'm certain it went beyond just being fed, he genuinely seemed to enjoy any interaction, even water changes and cleaning the glass, like a puppy that just wants to be into whatever you're doing.

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

Fish can be so funny that way - following your hand around as you clean. :-)

[@MegaMaddydog]

Thank you both. Always a pleasure. 🙂

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

Thank you!

[@pelhamsaquatics]

All wonderful choices! In my 46 yrs as a fishkeeper mostly cichlids 99% during the pandemic I got my first ever oscars...ya I know right! I wish I would have gotten some sooner they are now about 3-4inches I got them back may they were about an inch long , I got 2 tiger oscars. Lots of personality! Thanks guys for the great Monday video🙂

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

Have fun with them!

[@AcrylDame]

Barbs! Not only are they super curious and their social interaction is very interesting to watch, my Odessa barbs will even nibble at my fingers and won't panick when I touch them. They are always watching what you are doing. Cherries are also terrific.

[@marypaigeflynn4512]

Happy Monday🤗💚🙏 Bettas for sure!! I love Bob the co-worker 😂😂 I have never seen a flowerhorn in real life 🤔 Oh I didn't know the pee puffers were that personable 👍 check that's going on the list especially after your video the other day!!! I think the tilapia is really cool!! Great list of some really cool fish! Thanks guys I hope you'll have a very blessed day!!🤗🙏🌿🐟🌿

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

Yep - I think you will have to get some pea puffers some day. :-)

[@agnediciuniene9861]

I don't have a fish that wouldn't come to glass when I come near. Even the tinyest ember tetras or galaxy rasboras do that.

[@beanny0268]

My husband has always had very persoable Oscars and Jack Dempseys. We have a Jack right now who loves seeing faces but flips if he sees a hand so we tend to walk around with our hands behind our backs, but he'll come right up to the glass if he just sees our faces.

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

Too funny!

[@Chinesetakeout382]

One of my current bettas is so hard to photograph because he gets so excited by my presence. He’s beautiful and it’s not fair.

Golden dojo loaches are like water puppies. They're so friendly and curious ♥

[@soogymoogi]

Agreed!!! I've had a gold dojo (rest in peace Lasagna) and right now I have two green ones and they're such cute goofballs. All my other loaches ignore or swim away from my hand when I go in to adjust my plants or scape but my loaches go and give me little nibbles 😂

[@Aemilius46]

Personally I'd say Kribensis Cichlid, Ram Cichlid, Cherry Barb, Zebra Danio, Yoyo Loach, Corydoras' and Dwarf Loach would be my top 7 for Personality!! I had these at different times, and I absolutely Loved their Personalities right away more than other Fish!!

[@thefishwitch2137]

Love the video guys! Out of all of my fish, including my awesome bettas, my most friendly interactive fish is one with a bad reputation. It's my Bumblebee cichlid in my MBuna tank. Bumble will come to me and even eat from my hand, he acts mad if I don't give him his favorite food, by looking at me and then swimming in tight circles then coming back to the edge of the glass and just looking at me, the other tank mates will be eating and swimming around, he is here waiting for his food. He's awesome!

Sounds just like a bumblebee cichlid!

[@JoyBrush]

This video is great- It's true that fish has personality! I've only just found out last year after setting up my first aquarium a year ago. One of my Cory cat fish passed away and the other one just sat there and it was sad all day. There are a lot of wrong information on the internet about fish, saying they don't have emotions and they don't feel lonely and they can be kept in small small space due to these natures. It is a sad fact that many are due to marketing and fish sales. E.g. Betta fish are kept in a jar and I've seen so many sad Betta at chain pet stores. I hope one day the chain pet store can at least give it a bigger jar and a plant to interact with. May be it will help if we can all understand fish better and know that they all deserves loving home. They really do have individual personalities!

[@vinnygraziano1318]

Goldfish, goldfish are it for me. I have a huge 75 gallon goldfish aquarium, I purchased them near passing as feeders or better referred to as common/comets. Every time I walk into the room they will actually splash water out of the tank until I stick my hands in the tank to Physically play and interact with them. No joke, believe it or not fish can be really intelligent and live a really long time. My goldies are between the sized of 5-10 inches each and between the ages of 5-10 years and they were more then worth all the time and work that's associated with owning an aquarium.

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

They act like puppies when they are small!

[@Niatross1491]

I currently have one angelfish I’m going to get more for him but he’s about half grown and he chases me around the tank and he comes right up to the surface when I feed him

[@sassilou]

You are so right fish do have personalities... I love that they interact with each other. My man tho cannot see that. I see lil convos going on between friends and when it's feeding time.... That's my food... And to watch them all like lil PAC men is so cute gathering din dins.... All my 48 fish have names..... Crikey I need to seriously get out the house! 🤣😉❤️

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

48 fish names - now that's fun!

[@scrubjay93]

I have kept Central and South American cichlids, Tanganyikan cichlids and S. American community fish and out of all of them, I think shell-dwellers may have given me the most pleasure. My other favorites were a pair of Uaru cichlids that I kept in a 100-gallon indoor pond. They would take food from my hand and lived peacefully with other community fish. My emperor tetras and X-ray (Pristella) tetras both raised young successfully in the pond with the Uarus.

[@mbroome]

Don't forget about killifish. Especially the larger ones like fundulopanchax sjostedti (blue gularis). The males are very pretty, but the females have amazing personalities. They very curious and will play around with you when you stick your hand in the tank. Definitely a water puppy.

He is hiding behind the driftwood , my Rebeka put her finger close to him on the glass " I found you" , and Jack is swiming around her finger happily. Some people are saying: they are just fish.

I have a Red Texas cichlid that is 16 inches long he was personality plus he got popeye and i cured him he didn't loose his eye but it has a little bit of a cloud over the top of eye he can see but is not the same fish anymore and he stays at the top of the tank vertical just zoning out what do you think is going on water is perfect.

[@sienashawver6511]

Just got a betta and he’s so adorable because he watches me and loves to come up to the glass to greet me when I enter the room or approach the tank. It reminds me of the fish from Pinocchio

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

They have such great personalities!

[@gregedgerton3390]

Gold fish and koi are the friendliest. They will go nuts if they even see you. And they will swim right into your hands for food. Big cichlids have personality sure, - a lot of it ! But the work they'll do on your hands and arms transcends that of your gold fish buddies. Shudders from the tickling - can be reaching for the paper-towels; gravel-cleaning can lead to bleeding all over the carpet. I think fish make super pets. Every one they named is 👍 in my book. Thanks.

I had a bunch of rummynose tetras that would get excited when people came by :) I came to a point where I could not care for them like I needed to, so I handed them off to an 'actual' fish store. I wonder how they are doing? They told me the rummies and the ottocinclus wouldn't be here (the store) long...

[@oscarthewhale]

I have a group of angelfish, discus, a Severum, and a threadfin cichlid. From afar, the tank is so peaceful and majestic and it looks like a lovely sa community. But the moment I get close they lose all the grace and beauty and happily swim towards me and when it's feeding time they reward me with a splash. Wahaha I love them very much hahah!

[@bvgatti]

i visited an aquarium yesterday.. and noticed that when you spend time watching them they become interested in you as well out of many visitors who stop by for a brief moment. than noticed that they started to calmly swim in circle just in front of me and took turn to eyeball me each by turn like trying to figure me out . so to make them aware of my intentional observation and interest is particular individuals...i look back at the one looking at me with one eye open and keep eye contact to initialize rapport.. the result was amazing. they start noticing that i am trying to get their attention each on its own intentionally and they started to behave the same by gathering and passing by my face...and some even were trying to communicate or by "coughing " or by staring gazes or even challenging behavior...people around me found it cool and tried to do the same but they were very agitated and excited that the fish get spooked from them and come back to swim right in front of my nose...maybe they thought i am their feeder...or they were as curious...

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

I love watching fish in giant public displays. They act more natural. :-)

[@basskaseg]

I gotta say that my dwarf powder blue gourami has a ton of personality. He come right up to the top of the glass when I get near and is always asking me for food. I moved him to my desk over the weekend, so we’ll see how much his begging continues. Lol

[@mattkinsella9856]

Funnily enough this video made me think of my dwarf powder blue gourami I had. He died earlier this year and I miss his personality. For a really long time I had him in a tank on my desk and he'd spend the whole day watching me. I don't think he just wanted to be fed, he just wanted my attention and interaction. Unfortunately I had to move house and I had to put him in my community tank for a while and although there were no issues he just didn't quite seem himself, he ate fine and wasn't sick but sadly he passed away. It's likely old age because I had him quite some time (I think 5 years but could've been longer) but I feel massively guilty.

[@basskaseg]

@@mattkinsella9856 Sorry for the loss of your desk buddy. That seems like exactly what mine does too. He swims along the front glass which faces me almost all day, and he'll swim up to my finger if I put it by the tank.

Can't go wrong with gourami either. They can be aggressive little devils, but you can't deny they have personality. I have 3 honey gourami right now, 1 male 2 female. All of them will come right up to the glass if I go anywhere near the tank and stare at me. A little creepy, but they're fun little fish. i also have this one really weird bronze cory that will come to the surface of the tank when I feed and eat right with my crazy danios and congo tetras. He's such an oddball i can't help but love him.

[@farmert9679]

Some of you may disagree - but I do think guppies come with great personality for that size, esp if kept in a community tank. I've had a male trio for a year - always found them interesting through different stages of their adulthood, in how they intereact with each other and other fish in the tank - including the time I brought in a few ladies. Just a bunch of adorable guys!

That can hybridize, so people keep them in species only tanks (or at least one species per tank).

Beautiful fish ever guys awsome

[@merlijn-lottekrommenhoek4389]

My favorite fish friend is my leopard gourami/spotted leaf fish (ctenopoma acutirostre). So cute, begging for interaction (probably just for food...) as soon as I enter the room! Has eyes quite similar to puffers and similar swimming behaviour, but are much heartier and easier to care for than tetraodon species! It will be of a good size too when it's of adult size, about the size of a hand.

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

Yes! We have a leaf ctenopoma and that dude always looks like he is thinking about something. :-)

[@debestrada2733]

Well that’s funny. I’ve almost never had any of those fish. Always had rainbows and tetras. While they’re not pets like the others are, they are very interactive with each other and pay attention to me when and wherever I’m in the room. They also recognize me much so than they do people they haven’t met. Or know . They seem to be pretty intelligent, fish wise, to me.

I've had all types of fish..from regular to exotic..but I always go back to what I call the puppies of the fish world..Oranda Goldfish. Mine get excited when I walk in the room..will try to kiss me through the glass..and let me rub their jelly heads and bellies. They are sweet natured..goofy..beautiful..and easy to keep. Their only downside is sometimes having to trim their wen when it covers their eyes. But other than that you couldn't ask for a sweeter aquatic buddy. 😀

Two fish that I think are underappreciated in terms of personality are Angelfish and Blue rams

Can i keep a betta and a german blue ram together in a 15 gallon?

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

Maybe - there is also a chance the ram will fin nip the betta though. If it were me I probably wouldn't try to mix them in that size tank though.

[@chrisnair6937]

@@PrimeTimeAquatics okay then what stocking ideas would you suggest as i already have a single veiltail german blue ram which is about 1.5 inch (tank has a black background with pothos and small rocks and shells)!
