Thought I'd share these with the fellow Betta lovers out there:-

When I learnt that they can miss out at feeding times when in a community tank I thought I'd better get some sort of feeding regime going for him, imagine my surprise when I put a flake on my finger and went to put it in the water in front of him, only for him to jump out and grab it before I got to the water... I've been feeding him this way since

(Skip to 40 seconds in as my friend with the camera didnt quite get it at 1st)




I needn't have worried though, aint nobody taking my lil guy's food see what happens when they try....

lol feisty little guy! I had a betta that would jump too, but he preferred killing my finger to eating

Whenever I put my hand near the water for maintenance he jumps at it, I've tried to teach him that a finger wiggling in the water means feeding time but he takes no notice, bless him

He is feisty! My betta comes to the surface when I feed him and will swim in between my fingers with no fear, but he is much lazier than yours. I have only seen Harold move that fast when he decides to move from one plant to the other on opposite sides of the tank. Then he's a blue blur He ignores my other fish, he acts like he's too good for them. haha. They are such cool fish.
