hello..
i was wandering what the betta dance is as i have heard people saying about it.(does anyone have a video on one doing the waltz)...

i have put my little chat in the new tank now and he has coloured alot, he coloured up in about 10mins he seems alot happy now he on his own.. i shall try and sort a photo out tomo.... so you can help name him....

wow i love this forum all ready and the wonderfull betta.....

the betta dance is when you walk up to the tank and he swims right up to you and wiggles away, cuz he's so happy to see you!!!

the little fins on the side of his face wiggle a hundred miles an hour and his little body, "dances" with GLEE

you'll know it and your heart will be attached forever

Minx is right, they flutter their little fins and wiggle their bodies when you approach the tank.

It just makes you smile!

i could spend hours with my little baby...
i cant belive how much he's coloured up now his on his own!
the one other think i cant belive is that he letsme stroke him.....
how totally odd but completly amazing at the same time... no other fish lets you do that..
how long can it take for a betta to become that attach to us ??

Lucy

I can't wait to see pics

It usually doesn't take long for them to become attached and know who they can trust.

You'll want to be careful about stroking them because you could hurt their slime coat.
I know how you feel, I feel like hugging my betta. lol

He'll also do the dance when you show him his food container, which he'll learn to recognize very quickly -- maybe even by tomorrow. He'll learn to recognize you quickly, too. They're very intelligent.

It sounds like you're enjoying your new baby a lot! It's really fun to experience the bonding process with them.

Maybe it's just low self esteem on my behalf, but I always assumed he swam up bexause he figured he'd be getting some food.

The Betta dance is so great! Ours go into the dance when they want food or think attention is coming, when they're getting attention..

MinxMermaid

well you must not kiss the side of the tank enough

you have to sometimes give kisses, with no food to get the betta dance other than feeding time

Betta dances are similar to hyper puppies seeing you coming with a box of Milkbones.
My girls actually hop out of the water a few times in a row in the morning. Comical.

Here is the "Betta dance" My red boy does the moon walk and my Copper boy does the waltz lol....

Enjoy!

That might work when you are an attractive female, but as a guy...
