Betta Fish Tricks?

[coloradogirl]

Hello,
I was wondering if it's possible to teach a Betta fish to do tricks, like the limbo, which was described in one entry, swim through a custom-made hoop, etc. I never taught my first betta fish to do any tricks, but I was thinking with my new one, I could do that.

I taught Sebastian how to jump for food. Just hold a pellet over your bettas head and see if he/she will jump for it.

Tha's true, and you can teach them simple things, like always going to the same spot for food. I do that with all mine, except one who is rebellious. Also, some people put ping pong balls in their tanks, mine here at my office currently has one in it, and the fish will sometimes push them around and try to fight with them. Though my fish seems to be a pansy, and just stays with it on his back.

WOW! I'll try some of these tricks with the new fish, when I get one. Thanks!
