How to catch veiltail betta's attention:

You can catch the betta's attention via various techniques such as light and sound effects.

Before teaching any technique to your betta, train your betta to follow directions. 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.

Following the direction via finger is one of the important factors of the bettas training. With this basic technique, betta learns many things instantly. When you start the training, start with this. So, if the betta takes time to learn basic techniques, give her some time to adjust.

During the flaring, they look twice in their size. Flaring provides prevention from boredom is considered as an exercise and promotes a bubble nest. Put a small mirror and pen in the tank. Use the same pen throughout the training session. Once betta flares, place the pen next to a mirror. Repeat the process here or four times. Sometimes betta may be afraid and didn’t move. Once betta comfortable and start flaring remove the mirror and place the pen. Give a reward when he/she is successful.

A betta can play with a ball. If you throw the ball toward Betta, she tries to catch them via jump. Do training sessions once per day. Don’t over-train; when you start the training start with a 10-minute session. Give them a proper rest and sufficient relaxation time. Don’t force them. Once they are used to it, arrange 3 – 4 sessions per day with 5-10 minutes. Give a proper time to rest for the health of betta.

attempt.use pellets instead of bloodworms. Pellets work like chips, offering them catchy food instead of regular food., a betta can see eating as special food and more encouragement.

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.

Whatever you put in the tank whether it’s hand, stick, or food. Also, properly wash and sanitize

them. Because these objects may bring the bacteria and fungus to the tank which causes the health problem.
