Training

With a little patience and persistence, you can train them to do various things such as follow directions, play with the ball, jump, eat food from their hand, and swim through objects. Making the training process easier offer them food to encouragement.

Check whether your betta is healthy or not. If your betta is sick or has any disease don’t force her to train. Buy some snacks for betta such as freeze-dried bloodworms. They work like potato chips to betta. When Betta is successful in training reward them with food which encourages betta. Wash your hands before training. Don’t use soap because it contains toxins. Wash hands with soap after training.

Some of the basic techniques you should teach your betta. First catch the betta's attention, by dragging your finger across the fish tank, if they notice your finger they swim toward them, elsewhere simply ignore them. Flashing the light or clapping to drag the attention of your betta in the direction of your finger. Once the betta notices the finger and swims toward the finger. Move a finger up and down or right and left. Teach other things once they follow your finger consistently.

Betta is a natural jumper. To train your betta for jumping. Take one stick and any dried frozen food. Hook the food in the stick. Place the stick above the fish tank. Now try to catch the attention of the betta. If the betta notices the stick move the stick up, for food betta jumps into the water. If they successfully jump reward them with food. This trick performs when you need a lid if they jump.

If your betta does not learn, be a little persistent. Don’t give them stress. Give a proper time to rest for them. When you start a training conduct a 5 -10 minute session. You can teach twice a day.

Hygiene is important; wash your hands with warm water. A shop contains toxins so better to avoid

them. When you try to teach them new tricks the place is quiet. Don’t be aggressive, when you try to teach them to be patient. It’s taking time to teach them.
