    I've caught on to the betta craze...

    It's addicting, what can I say? I got another betta, a blue male. He's pretty tiny and won't eat. I don't know what to do with him, I've tried two different foods and he hasn't eaten either. I don't know how he has lasted for 3 weeks, because I haven't seen him eat at all. His name is Blaze, btw. No pics as of right now.

    What kind of foods have you tried? Try giving him frozen bloodworms if you haven't already tried (Hikari's a very good brand for frozen bloodworms!) I've never come across a betta that didn't inhale bloodworms! LOL.

    The first time I got a few of mine, they didn't eat for a few days to a week. Try something SUPER yummy... LIVE BLOODWORMS!

    if nothing else, I would try a thawed no-salt pea and see. it might help!

    have you changed water, about 25% once or 2x weekly? and are you putting any aquarium salt in regularly too? betta's tanks get bacterized easily because if you feed him pellets and aqua-salt helps keep water cleaner.

    it has been quite a while since you posted this, how is he doing lately?
    rest and sleep softly sweet locke..
