Zoo Med presents the Betta Product Line, an assortment of products to make your betta happy. The Floating Betta Log is a natural-looking floating log for your pet betta to sleep, play, breed, feed, or blow a bubblenest in, and features a hole on top for feeding. The Floating Betta Exercise Mirror is a small mirror suspended with a floating ball. Place the mirror in with your betta for a maximum of 5 minutes, once or twice a day, and watch your betta perform natural behaviors. When your betta sees its reflection, it will “exercise” its fins.
