problem with new betta

[cutecotton]

hi guys acutally, this problem has been bugging myo ther bettas, not just the new DT that i got

i've been trying to feed them pellets, etc, and i notice what most would do is eat it and then spit it out about 5 seconds later, the same applies to peas that i feed them. The only thing that doesn't get spit back out is bloodworms

they were by no means picky eaters, but i dont' know why a betta would eat food and then spit it back out, it sorta drives me crazy becuase i have to psend so much time getting htem to keep their food down!

btw, my kribs have the same issue

I think that since they got the taste of bloodworms, nothing else will measure up to the taste.

my cousin got a new betta that would do the same thing with pellets, but after a couple of days he would get used to them and eat them in one bite.

i dont know if yours would do the same thing because he's already tried bloodworms. my cousin only had the pellets.

well i've had my bettas for over a month (the older ones) and it's never been a problem except for the past week or so

Try taking some bloodworms and mixing it with the pellets. Also, you should try the brank Hikari Betta Bio-Gold, my bettas go crazy for it.
