One of my bettas flares all the time at his own reflection on the tank. Its so pretty

mine flare all the time, IMO its quite normal

I've got a couple betta boys that will flare at anything - and that includes flaring at nothing .

Some boys won't flare unless they see another boy or a mirror.

Some of my boys will only flare on rare occassions or not at all. *shrugs*

Well, at least i know there's nothing to worry about

Thanks

ct - crown tails

vt - veil tails

no problems, if he doesn't flare. maybe just lazy

iv,e only got one don,t know what he is vt ct have no idea what that means anyways he,s red blue a little green and dark gray he flares every time you stick a mirrow up

I've tried mirrors and my Otis doesn't flare - I just thought it was because he was a big softie!

hey kiddo, sometimes they do, sometimes they don't the 2 in the divided 10 gallon flair at each other now and again, especially if they think their neighbor is getting better food than they are

FruitLoop is always flairingI think he's stuck on permanent flair to be honest

Platie doesn't flaircan't make him, even put his tank between 2 other males and he wouldn't he just coward...i take it back he flaired oncewhen i was flipping everyone's tanks around, and he ended up with a double water change in the same dayI think he was ticked at me

Ghingus stays mad at life, as does my cross dresserfor a short finned beta she, uh i mean he flairs a lot

Lucky doesn't flair except when he can't hurd his "children" to Momma feeding

so it really does vary depending on the betta boy

Seen my male betta flare, should I be worried?

Well, I tried again but the silly fish just swam away But he did come back after awile No flaring though

i myself have 5 males, 3 VT, and 2 CTs, and my latest hasnt flared or displayed in the 2 months i've had him. one of my others, will, but maybe once a month, if that.

sometimes it takes a few tries, i have a male that acts rely passive at the mirror, till it chalenges it a few times, then it starts trying to attack through the glass, then even after its removed he just sits there, still flairing lol im gunna get great pics of him, but i have another male thatwont flair for a while, he is realy passive, even with 2 males floating, and a female in there with him

I've kept bettas for quite a few years, rarely did I have one that regularly flared.
