Well, first check what kind of food you are feeding your betta. Bettas prefer pellets, but flakes are okay as well. If you are not feeding the betta these, then you have no choice but to purchase either flake food or pellets. If you are feeding your betta flake food or pellets and it's not eating, then it may be ill or depressed. Is it slinking along on the ground, hiding, not interacting with any other fish, or showing signs of fatigue? If so, then it may be sick, and that's why it lost it's appetite.
so it doesnt go bad but you cant trust all brands
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
It might, depends on what kind of Betta food you give it.
A betta can eat any betta food regardless of the manufacturer; they typically market it as Betta Bites.
They sell packaged betta food.
A betta eats a few pellets or a pinch of flakes 3 times a day. It is best to use only food designed for a betta. Also keep in mind that a betta's stomach is the size of his/her eye.
no they eat freeze dried blood worms,live food,or Betta food bought from a store.
Yes you can feed it to a Betta, but most of it it will not be digestable for a Betta. Bettas are insectivores and need a proper diet made from insects etc. That is why pet shops have special Betta food for sale.
Betta pellets are designed for Bettas to eat. Hermit crab pellets are designed for Hermit crabs to eat. Goldfish flakes are designed for Goldfish to eat. Are you getting the message? If you wish your Betta to do well, feed it Betta food.
If the betta is spitting the food out, or looks at it and then ignores it, it probably just doesn't like that kind of food. They're picky.
probably not. they have different kind of food and they might get mixed up
Yes they just touch the Betta fish to paralyze it and then eat.
