• Built-in Enrichment: Its floating nature encourages gentle movement and interaction within the habitat, providing environmental enrichment.

Understanding Your Betta's Breathing:
In their natural shallow water habitats, Bettas have evolved a specialized labyrinth organ that allows them to breathe air at the water's surface when oxygen levels are low. Providing resting spots near the surface caters to this natural behavior.

The Importance of Enrichment:
Behavioral enrichment is crucial for the well-being of captive animals. By providing mental and physical stimulation that encourages species-appropriate behaviors, we can significantly improve their quality of life. For Bettas, this includes enhancing their environment with items that offer challenges, opportunities for exploration, and stimulation. Introducing new elements and rearranging existing ones can lead to increased activity and the expression of natural behaviors.
