You mean her? Perry is a girl. Now that's an idea for a thread.

I'm not sure honestly. But I take a lot of pictures of him, and when I do there's always a mirror on the side of the tank, so he flares, an I think he started associating the camera with the mirror and flaring lol

Perry flares at anything. Legos, erasers, my finger, anything. But here's the weird part: Perry doesn't flare at her reflection! She just runs away saying "AAAHHHH!!!! Get this monster out of my territory!!!!" She's staring to mature.

Kelso has begun to touch the side of the tank with his nose when i touch it. i am going to train him to do that.

That is so funny!! All my males flare at just about everything, but my black orchid is the only one that will do it for my camera. I only have 2 females that flare at all. Its pretty funny to see them try to be tough!

I am scared to train Carter to jump for food.

[emeraldmaster]

i would be scared too, what if carter were to jump out???

[ChoclateBetta]

Agreed.

Oh yes sorry I did mean her.

I tried to train Sushi to swim through a little pipe cleaner hoop and he did it once but I forgot about it after that. But the platy's were acting like hoop swimming aces.
