Hey guys, I need some advice. I have a betta who can see his reflection on the back panel of his aquarium.
I put a white piece of paper there, moved the tank, and even changed how the lights shine in the tank but I can't seem to stop him from seeing his reflection.
I did just get him yesterday. Perhaps he will realize after a while that's not a real fish there? Any advice is appreciated.

Mostly I find they settle down after a bit (except for the ones that I suspect just like to check themselves out).
 
I hope he isn't a diva ;) but he's so cute I could understand if he is!
Thank you :)

I agree.

Bettas will do this in a new tank (especially if coming from those pet store cups) :ermm: They are still getting used to the set-up of your tank and the reflections. They will tire of it and be fine soon enough.
