Teach Your Betta Cool Tricks: How to Jump For Food!

How to Train Your Betta to Jump for its Food!




POINTS TO NOTE:

  • Teach your betta to respond to food first before you try other tricks so you can use this learnt trigger to train your fish for other stunts.
  • Remember to reward your betta ie. feed it, after it has done what you wanted. But do not overfeed!
  • Do not over-train your betta as it will leave the fish stressed.
  • Remove the tools eg. hoop, pen, when you have finished training!
  • Divide the tank up for training if there are other distractions within the tank eg. other fish,
  • Or use a different training tank.
  • If you have patience and do not overtrain your betta, your fish will actually enjoy these interactive sessions and keep stimulated in an otherwise .... let's face it ... cage, ie. it will become more of a pet rather than just a showcase item.

Betta Fish Fry Are Hatching Here

Betta Father Watching Over Betta Fry as They Hatch


This Betta fish father takes his paternal role seriously as he cares for his Betta babies when they hatch.

Like a devoted nanny 'he' gingerly picks up a tiny, white fry and carefully places Nemo
back into the nest after the Betta newborn fry falls away just after hatching.

The Betta babies are newly hatched but amazingly they have no trouble swimming back into their nest.

If you observe the nest carefully. you can see some Betta tiny tails peeping out of the eggs.
