I am considering renaming Randy to wiggles. I know bettas arent the most cuddly of fish but he is so cute its unbelievable!

When he hears the door open he rushes to the side of the tank where I come in through the door and when I go up to the tank to talk to him (yes I talk to my fish and all my animals I am not ashamed )he does like a little wiggle dance thing and follows me around the room. I will have to get a vid of it.

All my animals end up weird though, my cat brings in the washing and turns lights on and off for me etc, I think he thinks he is a dog.

That's so cute. I love the betta dance.

That is cute. Wish I had a cat that brought the washing in. Then all I'd have to do is teach my dog to vacuum, and my fish to do their own water changes. I'd be set then

That's all so cute! It's like a great happy pet family you have I need to teach my cat to open doors as well, all she does is sleep the whole day

well it started out as a game for him when he was a kitten, and I was out of work so I spent all day talking to him and training him with catnip, he gives me his paw, sits etc.

Whenever I would do the ironing he would tug the sleeves of long shirts or run off with my underwear in his mouth so I would chase him, he then moved on to taking underwear off of the clothes horse then underwear from outside on the balcony lol. It still cracks me up to wake up to a bed full of underwear .

Don't worry, I talk to my fish! Especially when I'm in a store buying them and everybody looks at me as though I'm a complete lunatic! Guess what, that doesn't stop me!
Your fish sounds adorably cute.
Fighters do come to recognise their owners. My red male fighter Achilles, whom I nicknamed 'Wonderfish' knew me apart from everyone else. He would watch me from across the room, follow me from side to side of his tank and even clink the glass with his mouth to get my attention.
Be sure to give him lots of love, he'll probably end up the best friend you could have.

As to renaming him? Why not ask him. Call both names and see which one he comes to or seems to prefer, if in doubt, ask the fish, it's his name after all! lol.

Hello Diggly. It sounds like you have a wonderful critter family! I'll be looking forward to your video!
Have a great day!
