Entertaining Betta's

[sparky_555]

How do you entertain your betta? a few people use mirrors for 10 mins a day but what are the other ways to entertain them, such as putting things in the tanks (ping pong ball?)

I'm just wondering, because custard (my male vt) just sits behind the heater all day. it might be because hes just plain lazy, i dunno.

Well I put my VTs next to each other it makes them happy and entertained

theres lots of things you can do, switch around their tanks once a week so they have new places to explore, vary their diet so they never know whats coming next. Teach them tricks, I'm working on trying to teach one of my males to swim through a hoop, its tons of fun!!
