Betta Toys?

[BettaGal]

So now that I got a new filter and light hood for my 10-gal tank, I've discovered a new aspect of my betta fish. Thomas is the most playful betta I've ever seen. He must have ADHD or something. He's tried to play with leaves off my ludwigia, he's thrown sand everywhere, he plays in the air bubbler, and he's tried to play with my Cory cats. Last night he pulled up a stalk of ludwigia. Hopefully I can save my plants. Do you guys know of any toys I can get for him? I've never had a betta like this. My others were content with a lamp. I've tried a mirror, and he doesn't react. Just stares at it for a moment and moves on.

I've heard of getting small plastic rings that they can play with, and some people have used ping pong balls too!

Hmm. That might be something to try. We're currently playing with a snail. There's something wrong with this fish.

I knew I had a link to a vid somewhere ^_^

That's great. I'll have to try that one. See what the nut job will do.

Be sure to get a video if he plays along! ^_^

That video's cool! I'll have to get my betta a ping pong ball! Mine's the only fish I know that LIKES to swim into the net! Even when I'm trying to catch a different fish. They are so much fun!!
