As my avatar reference will note, I am a betta fanatic. They have a great deal of personality and are great company. I am generally their greatest advocate. I love the little fish. They are not only pretty to look at they are very entertaining if you spend time paying attention to them and talking to them and bringing out the personality. They will hide and pout and act spoiled if you ignore them but they are quite friendly if you let them know you want to be friends. They do not know they are fish, I believe. They do not play well with a lot of tank mates, but they do love their humans. I believe what I heard one person say on a different area that I was once on "they are like puppies with fish suits on." They do the "Betta Dance" when they are trying to get attention and when they think it is time to eat. They will react to you and even learn their names. I just adore them.
