	Betta not eating pellets~
bennydongjun Small Fry Posts: 9 Kudos: 3 Votes: 2 Registered: 05-Mar-2006	my betta fish is not eating any pellets, i tried to starve him for a day, but he still doesnt eat it. i bought a bottle of freeze dried bloodworms and he eats a little of that. But if he will only eat that and i can only feed him that, he wont get a staple diet. cuz im sure the bloodworms are missing some nutrients.

When he gets hungry enough he'll probably start to eat them. You're right about the blood worms, as a steady diet would not be that great for him.

Mine eats every thing I put in the tank. The frozen Blood worms would be his favourite followed be a food I buy for the Cardinal Tetras. I would try the frozen blood worms rather than the freeze dried. You can see in my profile what I feed my fish with. He loves his cooked vegies as well. *Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info* Look here for my Betta 11Gal Desktop & Placidity 5ft Community Tank Photos Keith Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.
