	changing food
Puggle Enthusiast Posts: 224 Kudos: 133 Votes: 0 Registered: 19-Feb-2004	One of my betta boys is a very fussy eater. All of the other bettas love their hikari betta bi-gold, but he won't touch them. The only food he likes is freeze-dried blood worms and frozen food (it's got brine shrimp, worms and vegies. not sure exactly). How do I get him to change?

Liked to play with his food rather than eat it. He went off it completely and I was worried sick that he would starve. He went for at least a week without eating any, and still wasn't interested. That's when I started on the frozen food.

I called the petshops for help and they said there was nothing I could do. . . he died of (I am guessing) starvation a little over a week later. I cried for days. . .
