I love they way they puff up at each other.
they were doing that just a moment ago, actually...the darker one (malfoy) is pretty aggressive and i'm glad that the divider goes all the way to the top of the aquarium. otherwise i'm pretty sure he'd jump it and go after his roommate. bettas really are gorgeous when they're threatening each other. 
When I was a Freshman in college, my roommate and I had a fighting fish named Samurai. He would leap partially out of the water to take food from your hand. He was one cool-ass fish.
we had an oranda/fantail goldfish named gil once who used to swim to the top of the aquarium and "beg" for food by making smacking noises at us on the top of the water. the aquarium was in our office and he'd swim right over to the side closest to the desk where one of us would be sitting and would do it there.
Unfortunately, when my roommate took him home she dropped the bowl and ended up with several deep wounds on her fingers from cut glass--all of which required stitches. Her cat ate the fish, unfortunately.
ouch!!
