Flaring?

[FBTgirl]

This morning around 7:00 I woke up and saw my betta. There 2 tanks are right next to my bed so I see them when I get up. Anyway I stared at him for a few seconds and he was at the bottom of his tank just sorta hanging out. Then he sprung up and Violently started swimming around his tank and flaring. I had no idea what he was flaring at but then he just stopped after a few seconds and lay back down on the bottom? Why was he flaring???

Maybe he was surprised to see you. My betta flared at my fiance last night for unknown reasons. I've never seen him flare before unless I put a mirror in front of his tank so maybe it's just one of those mysterious things Bettas do.

I have never put a mirror next to my betta before

Perhaps he saw his reflection in the glass?
