[@thebettavlog8218]

Their iridiscence looks awesome on camera. For me the easiest way to build their condition when it comes to flaring is to just uncard them every now and then, but that only works when you keep them next to eachother in seperate containters.

[@mellewedin8221]

I will actually stick the very tip of my tweezers in the water and they will chase it. In the end they 1 pellet for a reward. My males are never carded. They flare for about 30 mins in the am. Then they chill for the day, just before fedding they flare again most times walter doesn't any more, but he is almost 3. I also have bettas in with guppy fish. They eat the fry. Those that get fry have better color in my fish room. I love your fish.

These shiny pearls the fish might've gotten from eating moss on those rice paddies. Same thing happens to flowerhorn when you put fries in a small pond setup with lots of moss. You fish them out after a few months and their scales are shiny as hell.

Is that 20 mins in a single episode? Or break it up in small time increments

[@zairiq]

lets take a moment to appreciate his betta

[@Seroxm13]

I do it like a total of 1 hour to 1.5 hours a day, but like 8-10 times, is that ok? I mean, I play with him 8-10 times a day, like 10-15 minutes each time. I do it because I always see him floating like he's deas or laying on top of a deco, like he's sick, so I get worried and get him to move. He seems to get bored. As soon as I get close to his 2.5g tank, he gets active and with energy, and follows me, swims with my face or finger, swims left and right, up and down. So cute.

So I couldn't find much other videos than this one to teach a Betta fish to flare. But what if my Betta fish doesn't flare at a mirror? I've tried putting another Betta beside him (through a video, not an actual Betta) and a mirror and all he did was stare at it, but nothing else. No gills flaring up, no fins opening. Even th Betta floating mirror didn't work. I need advice.

[@kenjiro2676]

Should one wait for their betta fish to settle into their homes first before having them exercise through flaring? Are bubble nests an indication that the betta has settled?

[@Franksbettas]

Yes definately as flaring can cause some stress

[@seanycha]

Can you make a video about Giant Bettas, how that breed was made and if you can find them in the wild?

[@kidwolf0015]

True Giant Bettas are propably the least natural bettas in existence. They are the result of EXTREMELY intensive inbreeding with unpredictable results. They are the same species as the rest of domestic bettas with an expression of an extremely rare gene that makes them huge. They also tend to have weak immune systems. On the brightside, the gene seems to make them extremely mellow and non-fish aggressive... of course thier health is a huge price to pay for that. They would *NEVER* survive long in the wild.

[@Gassido]

Hi Frank, I recently got a new Betta Alien. I started this method with a pen and he started flaring right away. But now, after a week my betta stopped flaring. Instead he hides aways as soon as I show the pen. Is my betta sick? Or is he jsut shy? I would be thankful for a response.

[@อีสานจงเจริญ-ซ3ฆ]

There might be loud noises and vibrations that would frighten him.

[@haseenashaji346]

Can you export betta to india

[@The_G.I.P.G]

Can you still teach it to a 7 year old king koi betta? I will try to teach him but slowly

[@kidwolf0015]

Yes! Bettas tend to be pretty receptive learners for thier entire life. He might have less natural aggression and less of an urge to flare though. Koi Bettas tend to be a quite bit less fish aggressive than other domestics. Older Bettas also tend to be less likely to flare. A old koi betta is typically one of the most relaxed domestic bettas around, so the hard part is probably getting him to flare in the first place not the training part.

[@animallover6487]

I didn’t even train my fish and he flares at my finger lol

[@kidwolf0015]

Um.. That's not always a good sign for a pet betta.... If a betta does this to you without training there is a chance of it being a sign of a betta that's much more aggressive than normal or a betta that doesn't trust you at all. The latter is usually fix and the former almost never is. Warning signs are if they come at you flaring paired with an aggressive pattern swimming pattern, show stress stripes, suddenly change color when you come near, or attempt to bite you (not the little "pinch" nibbling that they do when trained to feed from you're hand. Aggressive bitting tends to hurt a lot more. Occasionally, it can even cause bleeding. They might even try to hold on... It's generally pretty obvious when a betta is attacking you.) It's also entirely possible that he was somehow trained or learned that he could get attention that way. That would be a good thing, especially compared to full-on aggression. There are playful bettas that will flare, but they don't usually show any of the other warning signs when doing so. If they trust you enough to let you hand fed them and clean the tank without any sign of aggression then they probably aren't truly agressive towards you. Many people aren't aware that bettas can have individual temperaments ranging from being naturally playful and social with everyone to being very aggressive and weary of humans. Thier personalities (not the same as their temperament) can be affected by their environment and how they were raised as well. Bettas are extremely intelligent fish whose behavior can be affected by many different things. Both thier genetics and thier environments play a huge role. It should be noted that naturally hyper-aggressive bettas can totally still make good aquarium fish, but don't ever expect them to ever warm up to you or treat you nicely. Definitely don't put them in a community tank or put anything brightly colored in thier tank. Don't try to play with them if they have a history of "randomly" attacking people either. Mild flaring, nibbling, and following fingers are totally normal betta behaviors. Flaring for a prolonged period with an aggressive swimming pattern, showing strong stress stripes whenever they see you, attacking, drawing blood frequently, and latching onto your finger to inflict significant harm are NOT typical show/pet line betta behaviors. It's usually pretty easy to distinguish the hyper-aggressive bettas from the rest.

[@kidwolf0015]

Chances are that your betta is just very playful or easily aroused. I just warn people in case they do end up with the unfortunate exception. There's been a few cases of people buying hyper-aggressive fighting line bettas from big chain pet stores and it doesn't usually end well for the fish... or new time owners. 😔

[@animallover6487]

@@kidwolf0015 Unfortunately, my betta passed away from dropsy awhile back. He was never really an aggressive fish, and he ended up being comfortable with me finger feeding him. I don’t think he was ever too aggressive because he never flared at his reflection, or showed any of those signs. He was actually really chill :)
