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!

And shelties too!
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.
Thanks so much Ashley for the siggy!

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.

I have two new Bettas and the first few days they wouldn't eat. I started to get real worried even though Bettas don't starve easily (Bettas can go more than 30 days without food! Although I would never go without feeding mine). They ate after getting settled in well. But I would try blood worms or pellets in your case

YAY! So I went to Aardvark Pets today and talked to the man who ran it about what to feed him. He gave me a package of Hikari Betta Bio-Gold and said to feed 1-2, and if he eats those maybe a 3rd. He also gave me a little pamphlet on caring for a Betta for free.
I'm so darn happy - I came home, cleaned out the flakes and gave him 2 Hikari pellets - and he ate it all (so I gave him one more)!
Thanks for the suggestions you guys!!

Yay! Glad to hear he finally ate for you.
Hikari most always does the trick. =D I use it for both my bettas and my cichlids.
And shelties too!
Sorry to hijack the thread, but your cichlids do fine on betta pellets? I wonder if I should start feeding my cichlid it.Yay! Glad to hear he finally ate for you.
