This is a fun thing to do for those with only 1 male betta that find him boring at times...
I only have one male betta, I recently bought (or should I say rescued) from petsmart. His name is Iggy, he's Purpley with red fins.(my fav. colors) I just couldn't leave w/o him, Becides, i already had an empty tank at home. A couple of days have passed, and Iggy was getting pretty boring, so i thought I'd compare him with other bettas. I've been looking at photos online of male bettas (flaring their fins)I noticed that Iggy never did that. (later I realized why) So I got an idea. I printed out the betta pics, cut out their betta shape, and put them up to the outside of Iggy's tank, I made them "swim" around the outside. Iggy caught a glimpse of a green one, And he started flaring his fins, trying to start a fight. I've never seen him flare b4, so I got really excited. I think he likes flaring to the other "fish". This is a lot of fun, doesn't hurt him, and It gives him excitement and excercise. Plus, he's really pretty when he flares... I'm sure somebody's done this before, but it just floats my boat, so I thought I'd share it! ^_^
