Betta fish or tarantula for my next pet?

[MartyTheSnail]

I know this is more asking for advice but this seemed like the most appropriate place to post this, if it isn’t feel free to remove it. My betta fish died a few months ago and it got me thinking about branching out to other pets. I am now in between getting another betta fish or a curly hair tarantula. I am worried about the tarantula’s long lifespan and how expensive it would be, but price isn’t too big of an issue. I kind of want to keep something new and lower maintenance. If you have any advice or ideas please let me know!

Betta fish all the way, ofc I’m biased since I rly enjoy keeping bettas haha but why not both eventually? Have a betta and a tarantula, idk lol

Tarantula are super low maintenance compared to fish (have five spoods), if you get a male they do not have as long of a lifespan as female tarantula.
I've got a curly hair, pretty sure female, her name is Tim.
I've got a lesser antilles named patroclus, an antilles pink toe that doesn't have a name, a hamoori red leg that doesn't have a name, and a verdezi named Versace (because I kept forgetting its species name, so versace stuck).
