Why My Betta Doesn T Flare
I cleaned his gravel and put him back in the tank gently.
Why my betta doesn t flare. Your betta doesn t know the difference between his reflection and another fish. Is there something wrong with him. I watched him swim for a bit and then he flared at me.
I can t get my sd to flare at all anymore. He either ignores the mirror completely or glances at it and swims away. Don t judge him too harshly on that.
My fish does not like it when i disturb him. He has three bronze corys as tankmates and they get along. I have been doing water changes 25 to keep up with the quality of the water.
He is in a ten gallon with good filtration but we muted the flow with extra filter media so that doesn t bother him. I ve attempted the mirror experiment several times to illicit a response from him and he never gives me one. My betta is flaring at me.
Hes never been very agressive and at one point he was housed with another male betta who was at the end of his life and they got along just fine but he would. I have had him about two months. I gave away my old betta now he doesn t flare at all.
The water parameters are good and i check them a couple of times a week. And no you can t put any more fish in a 5 gallon with the betta. Betta doesnt flare up ok so my betta who got trapped behind the air tube the other day is regaining his colour but his fins are down and he wont flare at himself in the mirror.
