fish_tank0311 Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 Im interested in making him flare up, so i can get a good look at his fins, and i have tried to put a mirror in the tank but nothing happens, what can i do to make him display his fins?

SamH Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 Some Bettas just won't do it, not territorial enough. My new guy didn't for the past week but all of a sudden he's feeling agro. They're moody wee characters, just keep trying 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zuri_08 Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 I was wondering, has anyone tried to train their fish??? Perhaps you could 'shape' your betta to fan its fins? Though it might require some patience... see goldfish stunts: for how to shape behaviour: http://www.clickermagic.com/clicker_pri ... r_p10.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F15hguy Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 if your setting up another tank, try floating another REAL betta in with him, I do this too all my boys and after a good flare up against a REAL rival they flare for a mirror as well. maybe you just have a smart boy that realises its just a reflection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
