CoryWithAKatana Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 Hey! Some ways you can stop this is by adding a dark background behind your tank to reduce the amount of reflection. you could also turn the brightness down to reduce reflection 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like @CoryWithAKatana mentioned, adding a black background on back and sides can help. I use a cheap poster board taped. This is a good sign, meaning he is energetic! Won’t always go away on its own usually though. @Jack1235 On 9/1/2024 at 5:20 PM, CoryWithAKatana said: *psst* the best way to get someones attention is by adding the @ sign and then typing their name (or it will show up) That way they get a notification that they were mentioned in a post here is an example) @Jack1235 Yes 👍🏻 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EricksonAquatics Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 More fish likely won’t help. Plus, you don’t know if your betta is going to be aggressive towards tankmates or not. You can also use tall plants to block the back and sides of the aquarium so there’s nowhere to glass surf. Even fake plants do the job for the moment if needed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
