{"product_id":"zoo-med-floating-betta-exercise-mirror","title":"Zoo Med Floating Betta Exercise Mirror","description":"\u003cp\u003eA small mirror suspended below a float, so it hangs at swimming depth. The betta sees its reflection and flares, which is genuine exercise and a break from a static environment. Drop it in, lift it out — no assembly, no fixing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUse it briefly, and take it out\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis matters more than anything else on the page. Flaring is a territorial stress response, not play. Zoo Med's own guidance is a \u003cstrong\u003emaximum of five minutes\u003c\/strong\u003e, used daily in short sessions. Independent fishkeeping sources go further — a few minutes once or twice a week, with some suggesting around twenty minutes of flaring in total per week as plenty. A mirror left in the tank stops being enrichment and becomes a permanent stressor, and the same applies to unintended reflections in tank glass in a brightly lit room.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSkip it altogether with a newly arrived betta that is still settling in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFloats at swimming depth\u003c\/strong\u003e — the mirror hangs below a surface float.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNo assembly\u003c\/strong\u003e — in and out in seconds, which is how it should be used.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor enrichment that can stay in the tank, see the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/zoo-med-betta-play-tube\"\u003eBetta Play Tube\u003c\/a\u003e.
