Flaring

[LadyDayne]

I was thinking that my betta was really into me saying hi to her, but then I got to thinking, I think shes flaring at me and at every other person that looks at her. Is she just really aggressive you think, or just being normal? I almost feel like I need to leave her alone so she doesn't have to flare me so often lol. :)

Pretty normal When ever i go to my bettas tank he goes straight to my direction some times he flares some times he just stares blankly at me. Betta's pretty much flare at anything lol

LOL I see. Yeah she flares up all the time. I was worried that shes super stressed or something. She also sort of swims really fast back and forth against the glass while shes flaring, as if to say "I want to rip you apart".

My bettas do that to me too. I always give them a treat after they exercise with the mirror in the morning though, so mine are probably just looking for more food.
