Betta Toy

For anyone looking for ideas for a new betta toy:

We added the air bubbler pumps to both of the betta tanks and they're having a blast playing with and in the bubbles.

I catch a fly in my window and pull off a wing( I know I am evil) then my betta flares up at it and tries to eat it. He eventunally eats it. It is pretty cool to watch but he a wimp though, once he was scared of the fly LOL

I can't say I condone pulling wings off of flies. I have Buddha in two of my tanks and he doesn't approve of that at all. Something else for you to consider, and I'm not trying to lecture you, I just want you to be aware, is that flies come in contact with a lot of disease-carrying items and I'd hate for your betta to get sick because of eating a fly and the diseases it might carry.

If him eating live food is important to you, I'm sure someone here has some safer ideas that wouldn't be as risky

Wowowowowow! I got to try this when I move my fish to the 20 gallon. I read somewhere that bettas are atheists but maybe yours became Buddhist.
