It blew me away and made me realize the sky is your limit. I have seen videos of betta owners teaching their fish to jump out of the water to snatch their food. Don’t leave the mirror there too long just for his health sake. It’s good for the betta to change things up and have their scans rips change a bit.

Here is a fun trick that some of you can do. There are days I wish I was swimming inside my aquarium. Your not crazy for wanting to play with your pet fish. Stick to a schedule of every couple of days. This will make your new tank an ecosystem. Transport this decor in a bag of water to your new tank. Tell the employee your tank needs beneficial bacteria. When you are at the pet store buying your fish, ALSO BUY a fake plant or decoration or rock from an ‘established aquarium’. This bacteria grows on plants, rocks and decor. With a brand new tank, you need some of this “good bacteria”. Beneficial bacteria make the water easier for the fish to live in.

The betta is actually a pretty tough camper when it comes to water.

Most people have this thought that their betta fish needs bottled water.
