i read that beta males are very territorial. it might just be that the fish is not self aware and believes he is seeing a male that is threatneing. so for him he's just trying to get the other fish scared or to prepare to fight even though there is no other fish.

What happens when a Betta never moves but it just looks at his reflection?

If it is a male betta and its finns are not openned (like when they get angry), while he is looking at the reflection (I'm guessing it's almost like a mirror reflection) there is something wrong about your fish. Maybe he/she is lonely, or it is breeding season for your fish. But careful about putting two betta fishes in one tank~!
