No. He doesn't do anything to mirror or even putting another tank beside him. He barely even freaks out when the net comes near him, I almost have to touch him with it before he moves.
Poor little guy! Before feeding or netting him for a water change, I would just lightly tap the glass to let him know that you're there so you won't scare him.
I know. I completely forgot about his sight earlier when I moved him into his new tank and I about scared him to death. Seriously, I thought I gave him a heart attack. I didn't breathe until he started swimming again.
Me too. Hence the reason I couldn't get him for so long because my husband is the only one that can drive. You gotta see 20/40 to drive and I see 20/80 WITH my contacts. So I know how it feels to be vision impaired!
Oh! I don't even wanna think about it. He rocks. I love my little guy even if he can't see. So it takes a little longer to feed him. It's cool. Cause he rocks :-D
I JUST POSTED A PIC OF MY NEW COTTON WHITE DELTA TAIL, I'VE NEVER SEEN A SOLID WHITE BETTA EITHER UNTIL I RAN ACROSS HIM LASTNIGHT. I PUT HIM IN HI 2.5 GALLON TANK AND HE SWIMS AROUND AFTER MY FINGER, ARE THEY SUPPOSE TO BE BLIND?FILL ME IN OR I CAN RESEARCH? THANKS
CAN YOU NOT BREED THE WHITE ONES? I WAS GOING TO BREED MINE (B00) IN A FEW MONTHS. HE CAN SEE VERY WELL. I WAS JUST WONDERING IF SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH IT?
There's probably nothing wrong with him. I knew immediately that Furio was blind. It was obvious. He is a GORGEOUS fish BTW and I think breeding him would end in beautiful fry! Good luck!
Mine is blind, but I'm sure all whites aren't blind, just some, as is any species of animal humans included.
To SunkissedinCA I finally got Furio to eat by placing him in a smaller tank. He hides most of the time in his plant but now he's gotten used to me tapping the bowl when feeding him. I had a hard time to begin with, but he's getting used to it now. And doing great :-D
