    Well every single one of my betta's over the years ( about 10) loved there blood worms ....

    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.

    Sorry to hijack the thread, but your cichlids do fine on betta pellets? I wonder if I should start feeding my cichlid it.
    Thanks so much Ashley for the siggy!

    I don't feed my Cichlids betta pellets. Hikari has different types of pellets made especially for cichlids.
    HERE is a link to what it looks like and all. My cichlids love it.

    Pellets are great! Stardust wants them too! I once fed him flakes and he too would swim away...
