Betta isn't eating :( - UPDATE -

[BC_MoM]

Hey guys... so the male Betta I got on Sunday STILL isn't eating. He ate two flakes on Sunday - and none since then.

He seems to be active for the most part - so I don't think he's sick....

When I put flakes in, he'll swim up, ?sniff? them, and then swim away..

Could he not LIKE the flakes?

I plan on going to Petland on Friday to get some bloodworms - is that alright/a good idea??

Also, what brands of food for flakes or whatever should I look for? What should I be feeding this little guy?

I would give the pellets a try, I know my last Betta just didn't like the flakes. Hope he starts eating soon!

Most of my bettas didn't like flakes and they tended to cloud the water too. I'd try pellets.

I agree pellets are a favorite among mine

It could be that he eats them when you go away too

I'd say try pellets. My boys love the Hikari brand. =D

Most bettas don't like flakes so I'd go get pellets.Bio-gold are the best.My fish love them more then freeze-dried bloodworms.
