When I first got my betta, he did NOT like eating. It might take a couple days for him/her to get used to its new home.
Sadly, I have also experienced guppies who do not eat. They usually were ill. Hopefully your betta is not like them.
Bloodworms are not bad for bettas, they love them and it's similar to their natural diet. The only danger is that live and sometimes frozen bloodworms have a chance of carrying a disease, but the frozen and dried ones are usually safe. If your betta gets overstuffed then you have to stop feeding them for a few days, and on the third or fourth day give them a fragment of cooked pea which will clear out their digestive system. But that is true of any food they eat too much of.
Well, try giving it one pellet to see if its hungry and then put in 3-4 pellets for it to eat. Some good treats for your fish are live blood worms, live brine shrimp, freeze dried blood worms and freeze dried shrimp. These can substitute for the normal food you give your fish but DO NOT EXEED THE AMOUNT THAT YOUR FISH CAN EAT IN FIVE MINUTES.
The white fins wont be moving and they will be at the bottom of the tank
The fish has probably been reared on Flake and does not recognise the Pellets as food. In this case I would supplement the fishes diet with a few live Brine Shrimp or Dapnia occasionally. hello im the person who asked this questin my blue betta wont eat flakes but only pellits and i cant find any live food in burnaby or coquitlum and i have a problum TODAYS CHRISTMAS! and i cant find live brine shrimp for my poor betta -flipper10158
If the betta is still constipated, feed it ground up peas (frozen is okay). You could also try to tempt it with something like bloodworms that it likes eating.
my betta bowl has sea glass which is really dull glass so it wont cut itself
Well whatever food he was eating first he probably liked best and was used to it so try feeding him that.
they can eat guppies and betta fish the betta fish will put up a fight sometimes they wont eat the fish and just leave the fish there for a tank mate if there is any amount in a tank together but if you put to many big turtles in a tank with little turtles the big ones will eat it
some beta fish are aggressive and will tend to attack other fish but depending one the environment you've had them in they wont. Like if they have been around other fish then no but if they were by themselves then yes
its usually because its a new fish, but after a while they should go a bit closer to each other, but if he starts to follow her than hes hoping they can breed together but if she doesn't want to than he will kill her, and if she does, well baby beta fish for you!
Yes it is bad because they will fight but if they have grown up together they wont fight.
the color wont define gender is it has really big fancy fins then its a dude it its has smaller fins then its a girl
