Hello all! My betta fish who’ve I’ve had for about a year is painfully bored and I’m not sure how to spice up his life. He’s healthy. He swims fine and has more than a healthy appetite and his water params are typical. He’s just a lazy grouch who likes draping himself over his decorations (“draw me like one of your French fish”)
I’ve tried putting post it notes on the front, trailing my fingers on the glass, putting treats on my finger tip and making him jump out of the water to get it. He’s most enthusiastic about the treats, but he quickly looses interest in following my finger/look at the additions on the glass
Should I change his decorations? Add some floating plants?
He lives with a snail in a 5g. Wish I could give him a fish buddy but he’s a brat.
I’d put on a drag and do the hula but I don’t think it’s be appreciated
Edit: he seemed happier in the 3g he was in a few months ago; but that tank had a pond snail invasion and honestly he was better pest control than my assassin snails. He had a high kill count and it was fascinating watching him rip the small pond snails off the glass and eat them. New tank only has a big fat snail who he can’t hunt. He was very disappointed when he discovered this.
