I had the same problem once...
Betta fish are really picky eaters, and most pet shops "feed" them pellets or flakes. Truth is these fish rarelyeat these foods and will only do so if they're desperate; they can be trained to but why waste your time when you can give them something they'll eat right away? Try to buy live foods, if you can't look around for some freeze-dried versions, you can also feed your Betta ants (and their eggs) and house flies.
AnswerYou can try soaking the pellets before you put them in the tank for feeding. You could also try flakes that float, or blood worms but don't overfeed on blood worms though, it'll make him to FAT. They love blood worms! AnswerTry giving your Betta another type of food. They hate eating flakes and sometimes pellets. Other brands of pellets might work. Betta's love frozen, or better yet, freeze-dried, food like blood worms or plankton. Or if you can't get your Betta anything else, try skipping his feeding for two, only two days, and he'll be so hungry he'll be able to eat his nasty food even if he's picky. AnswerBlood worms are definitely the most efficient and reliable way to feed your Betta. The little pellets are fine but soon, the fish will get sick of eating them.Betta fish won't eat for a number of reasons. They may not eat due to stress, illness, poor water conditions or they may just be picky about their food. Try to clean your aquarium and possibly try a different food, such as freeze dried blood worms, fresh food or pellet and flake foods.
A Betta does not require a lot of food, they can go for a long time without food if you have live plants in the tank with the fish or if you are feeding it betta food they are both fine. In a way you have uncovered a secret a betta is a easy fish to take care of because you do not have to feed it every day once a week is plenty. I would not do anything except give the fish so hiding places floating plants, a betta prefers shallow water and warm water.
Perhaps you should try feeding him something he likes. Naturally, they love blood worms. You can get them in frozen form at the pet store, or maybe dry worms.
Ok so you try to tap the tank or you can pick him up and feed him oh don't take anyone elses advice there all freaks.
It might be sick.
Betta fish do not eat fish.
NO!!!!! They should not eat betta fish...but if your cat has then call a vet, and don't get anymore betta Fish!
I believe you mean Betta fish. No, it should be fine. You can treat you Betta fish by giving them bloodworms!
its kinda rare to see a beta eat a whole fish, usually they injure and bite other fishes. but its a high possibility that a beta could eat another fish if its really really hungry, due to its instincs, but usually the fish cant be bigger than the betta itself.
There is no such thing as an "Ocean Betta".
No
no they do not
I think they just can eat fish food. So, i wouldn't feed you betta fish sweet peas. kk
sharks eat all kinds of fish
When your Betta fish is fasting it means it is not eating, this usually happens after the Betta has bred and it will not eat until all the Betta eggs are hatched.
If the fish is still getting used to it's surroundings, it might not eat. This is normal. Usually if betta fish are comfortable, they will eat as soon as they smell or see the food.
