Marbles!?

I have heard it said that Bettas enjoy rolling marbles around. I have yet to validate this for myself. Anyone know?

Not marbles, as they are too heavy but something that floats on the surface like a small plastic ball might be interesting to them

I doubt they are fussy about colour lol
You could tie some java moss around it though

I have tried both, marbles he likes the "shiny" factor and the pingpong he likes when I prod it about for him. He does not nudge but likes to wrap himself on it. It is still cute

some bettas do enjoy rolling marbles around. and they seem to be fascinated my the shininess and color of marbles (if they cant push them around). theyd be fun for a betta. ping pong balls also are fun for them.
cheers

My fish have never even taken notice to the marbles or ping pong balls I supplied them with. They have however taken interest in marbles if I roll them around outside of their tank. The same with tossing around balls of foil My roommate and I played fishy in the middle with a foil ball around her betta and he seemed to enjoy it
