How do you help a Betta with flaring at his own reflection in the tank walls? It only happens when the light is on but I hate keeping him in such a dark corner of the room all the time
My old betta used to do this, eventually he either figured it out or got bored with it because he never does anymore.ajgravedigger13 said:How do you help a Betta with flaring at his own reflection in the tank walls?

Can't plant it yet but thanksGlorious Goldfish said:My betta did this once I got him an aquarium light. I put lots of plants in the tank and that seemed to help
Depends on the Betta really. Some don't flare even when holding a mirror up to the tank. Mine still flares a lot, but he's definitely slowed his roll a bit compared to the first month I had him.ajgravedigger13 said:Thanks everybody so if I left the light on line normal he'll eventually get over it or something?
Flaring is a pretty normal occurrence for bettas, but it can make them nervous. If your betta keeps flaring at himself, you could try placing a picture (not a flat color, since this aids reflection!) behind the glass or putting a plant in front of the area where he sees his reflection most.ajgravedigger13 said:How do you help a Betta with flaring at his own reflection in the tank walls?
