How do I pellet train them? I'm worried he'll starve. I have 3 males. 1 has eaten a bite of bloodworms that's it. Have had him for almost a month. The other two I got a week ago and haven't eaten the slightest bit.

1 is in a 3g, the other is in a 1-2g, and the third is in a 2.5g. The1 that I have had for a month is in the unkown size tank. The biggest tank has filtration. the 2.5g has drfitwood and the unkown has pre-cycled gravel and live plants.

Some bettas will not take pellets but most of mine preferred those. I think it's easier for pet stores to drop in pellets (easier to count) than flakes. Try some flakes or freezedried bloodworms
