What's a few things you can add to your aquarium to entertain your betta?

Ive heard some bettas like to play with tiny plastic balls, either floating or sinking.

I just like to make feeding time 'fun' by making my fish chase the bloodworm (held by tweezers).

Simple caves/holes to swim through work too. I have one dumb looking ornament that looks like a diving helmet that my betta likes to swim through.

For an experiment on a fish's ability to play, the scientists used a thermometer that sits at the bottom of a tank and rights itself if it is struck. The cichlids seemed to engage in play behaviour by pushing the thermometer around.

my betta sometimes likes to crawl into little spaces and sit there for a while

Well, they do make betta toys. For the most part, having a complex and well-decorated tank is going to be your best method of entertaining him. You could also get some live food for him to chase around.

The ruskie still comes by occasionally. Most of his presence was in the mustelid threads, which no one makes any more. He said he wasn't going to post with a trip unless it was mustelid related, but he seems to be following through with that half-assedly at best.
No one misses the dutchwit.

Occasionally a flaring session would be ok for betttas. Gives them something to do. Once every couple of days I give my betttas a mirror session

I've been gone for a month, and my most hated trip is gone? Did I miss something fun?

Anyway, I know it's tacky as hell, but my father gave me a huge castle for the betta tank. The betta and the cory cats all love it.

Would it be cruel if I put some smaller fish like micro rasboras for him to chase occasionally? They're obviously too fast for him to do anything

Bettas are peaceful, they generally never chase anything other than other bettas.

Mine's killed a female guppy, would dive after the other, and a few months after being put in a tank with only cory cats, he's now darting after them. But this is the only asshole betta I've had, I've had plenty that were fine in community tanks in the past.

Oh, I'd keep him alone then, fish will only chase other fish when they feel threatened and feel the need to defend themselves or their territory. It's stressful for both the betta and the rasbora.

Doubt it. He posted two days ago at least. He's probably too busy dealing with all that shit he got mixed up with to fuck around here.

Bugguy obviously got banned. Who knows for how long.

Depends on the betta I think. Mine shares a 5 gallon with a bumblebee goby.

If he actually chased them, yes. There's no reason to put fish in a tank for the sole purpose of causing them undie stress.
