    You can provide lots of silk or live plants and caves for him to explore and twine through. Given a heavily decorated tank, he should be able to entertain himself.

    If you really want, you could try putting in a ping pong ball. Some Bettas will push them around, but others will ignore the ball.

    Other than that, he's best left to himself.

    How big of a tank do you have? They say betas can have a one gallon tank, but really they prefer more swimming room than that. I don't think you need to entertain him, I leave my beta all day when I'm at school.

    Alone is the name of the game for Bettas.
