Hello
I bought my daughter a betta a few months ago he was pretty small I'm assuming he was young since he's grown into a beautiful fish :-D he's very friendly and always excited to see my daughter. He swims right to the top and does little "tricks" for her but when I put the mirror by his tank he swims backwards or just swins in circles but no flare?

My Boy marius Doesn't flare at the mirror either.
All I can get him to flare at is females, and royal blue stuff :)

What color is he?

Marius is blue, so I think that is why he flares at blue stuff.

He's royal blue I can't remember the type he has real long fins but he's the most laid back little betta I've ever seen. I've also never seen one that responds to a person the way he does my daughter. She Loves it. Well I'm glad it's normal I was worried about him

All my guys ignore mirrors and photos or videos of other males flaring. They will do semi flares as I call it, which means no pushed out gills or visible beard, but the rest of the fins are in flare position.
