'Training' a Betta

[teresa]

I am so impressed with my super smart boys

when it is feeding time, if they don't come to the right place all I have to do is rub my fingers together just over the water and they will go there. It comes in handy when I am cleaning the tank or fixing a plant too cause they are not scared of my hand and can get in the way sometimes.

What other things have people taught their Bettas to do?

cant really say if its me teaching anything..

but i just move my finger around him and he follows it.. lol either because he thinks its a threat or he thinks there is food on it.. but ill just pretend that its me that has trained him to do 360's

mine, as im sure with most, knows when its time to feed.. and he goes up to the corner and "lays" in the corner waiting to be fed.

The one thing that i think is quite neat is when im across the room from his tank, a good 5 meters or so and im doing my thing and hes doing hes thing, all i have to do is raise my hand into a fist or move my fingers aroudn and he instaly darts to the side of the tank or tries swimming towarsd me since he think sim going to feed him. I just think its kind of neat that he is aware of alot more then just what's in his tank, but aware of alot that is around his tank also.
