Betta isn't eating :( - UPDATE -

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.

My old betta's where always fed pellets in the pet stores because there cleaner, so maybe your betta is not used to flakes right now ... pellets would be a good option but do add some blood worms in it's diet as most betta's love them.

Good luck!

Funny! Every single betta I have ever had (7) they hated the blood worms. Yes, all of bettas don't like flakes either, so no worries you don't have a sick betta, just a picky one.

I had one that didn´t ate for a whole week when i got him.......

Pellets are a big hit among my betta gang.......also I use freeze dried bloodworm as treats or as weekend food........on weekdays i only give pellets

Every betta is different.
