Cool idea.. I might try set this up for my own tank..

make for good viewing when my male Betta notices!!

I understand that prolonged exposure to mirrors can stress a male Betta
considerably. They need rest from their reflection, he won't be able to
tear
himself away from the mirror as long as it's there!

Unless the Betta is kept in a translucent or non-reflective container, there
will be some reflection for it to flare at. A healthy Betta will flare lot
but not to the point of committing suicide. That could be a lethal defect
in its evolution. They will flare until tired, or bored, but will rest when
their back is turned or when lights are out.
A mirror back may not be to most people's liking, but to each his/her own.
