See if your fish will follow your finger as you move it across the tank. In many cases, the Betta will follow along if it knows its caretaker (you). Try to get your Betta to follow different patterns you make with your fingers. Can you get it to do a flip? When you feed your Betta, make sure that it comes up and sees that it's you feeding it. Once your Betta is used to you being near when it feeds, try keeping your hand above the water while it eats. Gradually you can transition to holding the food slightly under water between your thumb and forefinger. Try feeding your Betta a food they really like while training them. Betta may even jump if you hold blood worms or insects above the water level just a bit! Make a hoop out of a pipe cleaner or a piece of plastic. Figure out what your Betta likes to eat most, and use that as bait. Hang the hoop in the tank so that the Betta can swim through it. Move the bait to encourage the betta to swim through the hoop.  As your Betta becomes more and more comfortable swimming through the hoop, raise it up little by little, until the bottom of the hoop is just touching the water's surface. With enough practice, your Betta may jump out of the water and through the hoop to get a food reward. Remember not to overfeed your Betta fish. A few treats for training are just fine but don't overfeed the fish or it could cause illness or death. Show the Betta its reflection for a few seconds. When it sees its reflection in the mirror the Betta will think there is another fish in the tank. Male Betta are very territorial, so when they see this imaginary other fish, they flare out their fins. There is some debate about whether or not this is a good practice for Betta fish, so if you choose to use a mirror as enrichment, keep sessions to 15 seconds or less. To begin, find a plastic stick, straw, or chopstick suitable for putting in the betta's tank.  It is best to find something brightly colored, so the betta will recognize it. Put the stick in the tank, and when the betta touches it with its nose, give them a treat.  Do this several times a day, being careful not to overfeed your betta. Eventually, you can use this stick to train your betta to go through hoops, follow your stick in patterns, and even jump!  Just be cautious of over-exerting your betta, and always clean your stick with clean water before use.

Many tsunderes are spoiled and/or rich, and some of them just want a "prim-and-proper", clean-cut look to them. While there's no tsundere "dress code", so to speak, the best look would be something that looks expensive and classy, such as a neat sweater and jeans without holes, or a cute dress. Check out what kinds of clothes you can find that you think would match the tsundere archetype. Some tsunderes dress typically, or for the girls, in a more tomboyish style. You don't have to wear super-expensive clothing just to look like a tsundere. Many of them actually look fairly normal. Think about it - do you see a lot of tsunderes with less-than-stellar hair? Learning how to care for your hair is important for being a tsundere. Greasy, knotted hair just makes you look less like a tsundere, and more like a rabid otaku.  It's common for tsundere girls to have long hair, sometimes pinned up into "twintails" (ponytails on both sides of the head). It's not necessary to be a tsundere, but it's a nice touch. If there's a tsundere in particular that you have a liking for, check out their clothing and hairstyles, and consider mimicking them. You don't want to completely copy off of them - you're not a clone of them, after all - but many tsunderes have a very distinctive style that you could loosely follow. Maybe you could make your own tsundere style! A common trait of tsundere girls is to wear thigh-high stockings while wearing a short skirt or shorts; in Japan, this is referred to as zettai ryouiki. There are many "grades" of zettai ryouiki, tsundere girls wearing Grade A or Grade B most of the time (socks that extend up to the thigh, with short shorts or a short skirt). If you want to up the tsundere image, check out zettai ryouiki. Zettai ryouiki is fairly sexualized, so if you're not comfortable with it, you don't have to wear it. It's a personal choice. You do not have to wear something you're not comfortable with in order to be a tsundere. . A general anime staple is focusing on high-school-age protagonists, so it's common to see tsunderes that wear school uniforms. If your school has a uniform, do everything in your power to make sure that it looks the best it can. Do any pinning, rolling, tucking, or searching for similar clothes to make yourself look as good as possible. If your school doesn't have a uniform, consider dressing in a uniform-style fashion. Not only does it help you look more tsundere, but it's also bound to look more clean-cut than just a basic outfit of a shirt and jeans. Some tsunderes (though not all of them) carry around their own signature item. This could be something small, like a book, a phone charm or a piece of jewelry, or something huge and impossible to overlook, usually cute looking. If you want to carry around a signature item, figure out what you like and consider carrying something like that. Get creative!   Don't carry a weapon! Though you might want to carry around a wooden katana like Taiga Aisaka from Toradora! does, carrying a weapon can get you in serious legal trouble, especially at school. Stick with the stuff that won't be perceived as dangerous.
