On Saturday, I'm leaving for Disney World for a week. I have someone who can watch my betta and feed him, but my betta is picky, and will only eat if the pellets are dropped in one at a time, and only if he can see them. My grandma, who is watching him for me, seems to prefer dropping in a "tiny pinch!" of pellets, which happens to be about ten. I was away last night, so she was watching him, and when I got back the floor of his tank was littered with uneaten pellets. She tries her best and talks to him through the glass and likes him alsmot as much as she likes my cat (which is a lot), but I'm not sure if I really want her putting all that food in the tank while I'm gone.
And she now knows four pellets, three times a day, but there's still a problem that they won't be eaten unless the betta sees them dropped in. And he won't eat them off the bottom once they sink.
So, my question: should I let him go without food for the week I'm gone, or should I let my grandma feed him so he at least has a chance to eat, and just do a water change as soon as I get home?
