Is Flaring Actually Good For The Males?

[kharma2815]

The reason I'm asking is that I've had my boy for about 4 days now, he's just flared for the first time since I bought him home (put a mirror against his tank) and for the first time he's being active and swimming all over his tank, until now he's just been sort of lazing around either by the heater or behind his moss-ball.

Flaring is a bettas keep fit routine. Its very good excersize for them. Some males get a little too stressed out with it so keep it to a max of around 10mins a few times a week.

Its nice for us to watch too

Thanks for the quick response. He seems to enjoy it because he's more active afterwards and has even tried to eat for the first time since I bought him home but I didn't want to od it if it was going to be bad for him in the long run.
