i know they are fighting fish but are they supposed to flare at everything...my blaze flares at the snail and i accept that, but Casper, the opaque hM is flaring at the filter, the plants, the glass, everything in the tank, constantly, Is he ill, or just being a grumpy fish? thanks
 
I wouldn't worry that he is ill, flaring is a good sign, he is up for a challenge! perhaps he can see his reflection and it's set himself into a frenzy! he just has an attitude and wants everyone to know about it :lol:
 
How long have you had him? He may have "anger management" issues! lol Call in the Fish Whisperer.

I've read of other bettas flaring at everything, soooo. . .not a big deal.
 
Just means he's full of hormones.

As long as he's healthy and eating don't worry.

Sounds like an awesome fish.
 
It's OK, he just has a big attitude :) I have one boy that flares at everything... including his poop when he does one and it gets caught in the current :lol:
 
lol thanks guys, he's so beautiful and i so relieved he's not ill. his bubble nest before last waterchange measured3 inches by 7 inches and was 1 inch thick, bless he needs a new squeeze! lol
and yes he is a gorgeous boy

with this much aggression maybe i should have named him phantom, theres nowt friendly about him lol
 
My fish flares at the filter too; not at the bit that blows out the water but at the spongey bit at the bottom; I think if he's swimming past it and it "knocks him off balance" he'll go over and "give it a piece of his mind" by flaring at it.
 
when I had my beta he did that, then he went to building huge bubble nest I freaked out when that happened but the little thing was horny I guess lmfao.

Lol, I actually own a betta named Mr. Grumpy Gills because of his atttitude. Its how he greets the hand that feeds him lol. My other male betta, rainbow was so sweet, until I put him in a divided tank with my female nixie. Flares at me when I come to the glass. I can't tell if he's mad at me for it or trying to show me nixie is his female. Made a HUGE nest for her.
 
Lol, they're all different aren't they. I have the biggest, chunkiest, most butch plakat male ever. And I have never seen him flair ! My wife claims she has, but I'm not a "believer" yet.

Sure he IS a male too !
