	Betta Refuses Shrimp
ILuvBettas Fingerling Posts: 36 Kudos: 24 Votes: 0 Registered: 24-Jun-2004	I tried feeding Prissy (my betta) the shrimp, but she refused it, just like she refused the pellets. So I went back to the pellets. She ate one, and then spat it back up. I probably shouldn't be worried, but I've never had a female betta live this long before, and I don't want anything to happen to her. I don't want her to die like the others. I love her very much. On the plus side, I went shopping today and bought her some really nice silk plants, and a sunken treasure chest. she loves them! At least she is happy, even if she won't eat.

For the first few days he wouldn't eat anything, I figured I'd keep feeding him and eventually he'd be hungry enough to eat. It worked Hope your girl starts eating soon ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean

He turns his nose up at almost all betta foods(that is to say, if bettas have a nose!) But I've had luck with HBH Betta Bites. And mosquito larvae for a treat. P.S: If Priscilla is a fussy eater, she probably won't accept large, hard pellets (Hikari Betta bio Gold, etc.) Good luck,hope she eats soon!
