Training

As an aquarium fish, you can teach him various tricks to entertain. For teaching a betta you need a little patience and persistence. In wild species, the betta is a highly intelligent fish, so you can teach them easily with proper training.

You can teach them various techniques; start with follow the finger, move the following direction, eat from your hand, swim through hoop, jump out of the water, play with a ball, even the betta recognize their owner and get excited to see them. If they like you when they see you in front of the tank they dance around the water in your presence.

Training is just like exercise, make sure that Betta is healthy and happy. The fish's color is clear and bright, with no torn tail. The scale should be smooth. If the bubble floats on the surface it means betta is sexually mature. Buy food to encourage your betta. Buy freeze-dried bloodworms for your betta. These are good techniques to encourage. Each successful attempt rewards them with food.

Hygiene is essential thing when you rain your betta. Before you start training wash your hands and sanitize it. Don’t use soap or any chemical-based product because these are toxins for fish. When you complete the session wash your hand with soap.

Signal to incorporate: Fish’s best response training when they hear a clear signal. They help know when it’s time to look for a target.

Sound and vibration: fish have lateral line organs, they react when sound and vibration. At a major aqua, fish hear their trainer walking out on catwalks and platforms indicating that food is on the way. You can do this using a bell, call, clap, or footstep. The biggest components of training are patience and consistency. Use the same signal every time.

Light/shapes: switching light is the most common signal for indoor tanks. Fish can see color, but shapes and different colors will be easy to recognize.

Start with the follow the finger. It is basic technique which helps to betta move according direction. 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.

Do not overload the betta. Give a proper rest in between training. Start raing in 5 minute session. You can conduct 2 session per day. If betta doesn’t learn instantly give her sometime to learn.
