I am having trouble getting my betta, "Charlie", to eat anything but live blackworms. He doesn't want to eat betta bites..he just looks at them. He spits flakes out. Floating food, sinking food. He doesn't like any of it. He absolutely will not eat it. But he will literally jump out of the water for a live blackworm. He is healthy and happy. He lives in a 10 gallon by himself. He even lets me pet him (I think because he thinks I am going to give him a blackworm). I know this cannot be good for him. What are my options? I haven't feed him any blackworms going on 2 days and he hasn't ate anything. He gets such an attitude when I put any other kind of food in there. Please someone help me. I have another betta "Frank" that is in a 55 gallon that will eat anything . In fact , He eats too much. He looks like a football player because he is so stocky . Hard to control what he eats when he has the run of a 55 gallon snapping up all the other fishes food . Please help !! I don't want my betta to starve!
