hi there this is the first time im posting on this sight so sorry if this is in the wrong spot.
i just got my first betta fish. hes a male crowntail and i have him in a 30 gallon cycled tank with a few plants and decorations (betta safe) i got the guy yesterday and he wont seem to eat. he will continually take the food in then spit it out. i tried 3 diffrent kinds of food (pellets flakes and another brand of pellets) he seems to take to the first kind of pellets first but im not sure what else. ive read several diffrent things about feeding them from once a week to twice a day. other than that he seems happy hiding in one of the decorations and swimming around almost constantly.
im thinking about not feeding him for about 3-4 days and trying again but im not sure if this is a good choice. i just want the little guy to thrive.
EDIT: sorry forgot to mention that he has a heater and a low flow filter
