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. 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.
The first thing is to catch the betta's attention and then try to teach the technique.
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 colors will be easy to recognize.
First: Teach betta to follow your finger
1. Put your finger on the outside.
Catch the betta's attention via sound and light. If you get desired response reward with food. If they are not responding try to flash on them or touch their fin.
Some bettas bite when you touch them. If Betta notices and follows your command reward them.
2. move your finger and get your fish
Move your finger back and forth across the tank, when the fish do the same as you instructed reward with the fish food. Encourage fish with food. Repeat the procedure when they cannot properly follow your fingertip.
The first step is getting your face to finger, teach them your betta sis following your finger's direction. In the starting phase, it’s difficult. Move your finger until they do not follow.
3. Use food as a reward to train your fish quickly.
A trainer knows how to train betta, your fish by using food as encouragement. With practice, your fish learn to follow the finger.
Pellets work like chips for the betta, use pellets instead of regular food, a betta will attract and come toward you.
4. train your betta to flare your command
During the flaring, they look twice in their size. Flaring provides prevention from boredom is considered as an exercise and promotes a bubble nest. Put a small mirror and pen in the tank. Use the same pen throughout the training session. Once betta flares, place the pen next to a mirror. Repeat the process here or four times. Sometimes betta may be afraid and didn’t move.
