Need help feeding betta!!!

[babychristie]

Oky, I have a female betta in a 10g tank with other fish! I am having a problme getting her to eat, I have been feed the others flakes and her bettta food, but she can't seem to see it when I try to feed her, should I just keep feeding the flakes and she will just get use to it? Please help :help:

I doubt betta will starve themselves to death. But if everything fails try feeding her live or freeze-dried bloodworms.

if you have only had her for a few days, she may still be settling in. some fish dont eat for the first couple of days, because they are still adjusting and dont know whats going on in the tank.

You can try using a finger to lead her towards her food. Get her attention by moving it next to the glass or surface, then drop the pellet/flake right where she's looking.

Ditto on the bloodworms. They love that.
