Simple Question

BettaBabe · 02-23-2005, 11:45 PM

Whell I'm just worried about my betta.My question is:is it ok to have a mirror background tank,or will it stress my beta out?

He'll will flare at it at first , but after a while he will ignore it. It's not the best background for a Betta , but it should work.

now ive heard that it is good to have a mirror for the betta because if they are alone they will get depressed, and seeing another one of them helps the fact, but if you dont want the mirror i would recommend putting either some guppys in or neon tetras

Well, just wonder don't they think that they're just their own images? How?

How can they distinguish with a real one? Thanks

Guppys will get torn to shreds with a betta in a small enviroment, the only time I would put guppys with a betta is in a 29g or more

You can if you want to. But next time you want to trick your betta the mirror trick it won't work anymore.
