please don't get this.
By mybettakanye on Nov 3, 2020
I know that it might be cool to see your betta "wagging it's fins" and "practicing natural territorial behaviours" but please just don't get this. No matter how long you leave it in for, it will stress out your betta! If a random person just showed up in your house and just stood there looking at you, even if it was for five minutes, wouldn't you freak out?? I know I would. These kinds of 'toys' aren't good for your male betta. If you plan to put your betta in a community tank after using this 'toy,' it might be hard to avoid fish fights due to their stress from the toy but also their mindset of "i have to be prepared at all times to protect myself!"

Made my betta mad at me
By Breezy on Jun 26, 2020
I was super excited when I saw this product, and was eagerly waiting to try it out; I've been very disappointed. I have been trying this mirror for over a week, and all it does is make my Betta mad at me. The first time I put it in the tank, he swam right up to it, gills flared. When he saw his reflection, he went to his favorite hiding spot and would not come out for the rest of the day. Normally when I come into the room, he swims to the front of the tank to say hello, and show off a bit before I feed him. He has not done this at all since I started trying the floating mirror. Whenever I place it in the tank, he moves to the farthest corner and refuses to move. Once the filter pushed the mirror I was super excited when I saw this product, and was eagerly waiting to try it out; I've been very disappointed.

I have since stopped trying, and luckily he is back to normal, though still acts suspicious of me. I think it's a great idea, just didn't work out for me, and I can't really recommend it because of that reason. 3 stars for a great idea, but for my betta and me, it isn't the right fit. I'll keep it around to try with the next fish though … more

This causes stress!
By Hendrix on Dec 3, 2019
Please do not buy this product. First of all, fish do not need exercise. They need hiding places and variety in their environment. This mirror causes an aggression response. Which in turn causes stress.

good exercise
By Jenny on Jul 16, 2019
My betta is almost 2 years old so he’s not super interested in totally flaring now. But he does it once or twice if I put in the mirror, then he wants his food! I’m planning on using it with a betta I will get in a couple weeks. He’s only 7 months old so I’m sure he’ll enjoy it! I just wish I had gotten this when Merlin was younger.
