[key_555]

i have tried almost every kinda food and still one of my bettas will not eat i got a heat lamp to heat the water untill my tanks are done cycleing i have given hin blood worms he loves them but i dont give it to them every day like two days a week. he will eat the peas but he will not eat the pellets. i have even order some thing off line it is not here yet but i just dont know what to do i i do a 20-50% water change every two day because the tank he is in is only 1/2g there is two little silk plants in there with him he swims and he has a nest right now but he will not eat what do i do?

Blood worms may be given more than you currently feed. You may want to try daphnia, brine shrimp, and microworms. All of these are live cultures. A good quality flake would also work. Continue feeding as you normally do. Just monitor his intake and remove any uneaten food.

get him some live brine or ghost shrimp the betta will kill and eat something thats alive in its territory

[stephenmontero]

how many do i get for him he also has a frog in there with him i dont think the frog is eating too what do i feed him he is a african frog

[stephenmontero]

i am not sure what african frogs eat but i would say you just get one or two ghost shrimp and that would be more then enough to get your betta on the right track. after it eats the shrimp feed it an unshelled cooked pea for fiber so your betta cleans out its system and hopefully begins eating normally
