What has surprised me is, it might be the most perfect fish in the tank, social, but doesn't care about anything.  And he LOVES the plants.  Literally lays down to sleep on top of sword leaves if they are at just the right height, or under them.  And he is more active than I than I ever thought a betta could be.  He meanders around the tank all day, then just goes to bed at lights out.  When I dip tubes into test the water, he comes up and rubs on me, blows bubbles on me, or just flashes all out at me, lol.  he's a cute bright purple little bugger..

i actually found my Steve resting on one of the leaves of the silk plants, the bigger leafy lime green one, the next morning after getting him, it was really cute.
