I am wondering how I can get Romeo to flare, I have put a mirror in front of his tank and he just swims away
He is timid and hides a lot so I want to see if it will get him out of his shellSorry, this may seem to be a stupid question, but why would you want Romeo to flare?
Surely if your betta is happy, secure and thriving in your tank, why would you want to upset it?
Or is there an ulterior motive here that I am missing and the reason is way over my head?

A weekOkey doke now I understand. How long have you had him?
David
A week
Maybe.A week
In that case maybe he hasn't settled down yet and decided the tank is his territory...
He is in a 2.5 gallon with just himself and a silk plant which he likes to hide inAre there any other fish in the tank? That could be causing him to be shy, especially if you've only had him a week, it takes a little while for them to settle
I will put a few soft plastic plants inHe's not had time to settle yet, there's no need to make them flare, it won't change how shy he is. I notice you said A silk plant as in that's the only thing in the tank? If that is the case then no wonder he is shy, he doesn't feel secure
