Hey everyone. I got a female betta a little over a week ago, and she is just a baby. She is about 1.5 inches long, including her fins. To this day, I have never seen her eat. I have tried flake food, blood worms, and the Hikari betta pellets, which all of the males eat all the time. She won't take it. I know she sees it, but isn't interested. She has no competition for the food, she just lives with some cories that eat shrimp pellets from the bottom. I don't understand why she won't eat? She shouldn't be stressed, her water is warm, aerated, clean... It also seems like her breathing may be a little fast. Her fins are perfect, she isn't bloated, no marks on her. If anyone has a little insight, it would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!
If you could get her to eat something maybe you can wean her off of that onto some 'normal' food...its possible that when you got her she hadn't seen anything to eat except one specific thing and now she doesn't know what other food is?
