this video will answer why wont my betta fish eat his pellets? and how to get Betta fish to eat pellets.

why wont my betta fish eat his pellets? because the hickey you just bought is not used to eating pellets.

Why are Betta fish not used to eating pellets?

Because they just got marketed.

What is the difference between new betta fish being marketed and betta fish that have been in ornamental fish stores for a long time?

the difference is due to maintenance problems.

Betta fish that have just arrived at the ornamental fish shop are recently cared for by the shop owner.

While betta fish that have been in ornamental fish stores for a long time have been trained by shop owners to want to eat pellets.

We will understand a little about Betta fish before I discuss how to get Betta fish to eat pellets.

The explanation is like this.

Wild betta fish eat small aquatic animals that they can eat, sometimes even jumping the water comes out to prey on the insects that are above them.

From this we know that Betta fish are carnivorous fish and can also be called insectivorous fish.

Such is the explanation.

So, if you buy wild betta fish such as snake head betta or others, of course they are don't want to eat pellets, because most of them that are marketed are caught from nature.

Meanwhile, if the betta fish is from captivity, why when you buy it you don't want to eat pellets? because the breeders have not been introduced to commercial foods such as pellts in betta fish.

When betta fish hatch they have not eaten, because they still carry food reserves, after 4 days of age then they need to eat and generally betta fish breeders will provide them with live food, like for example brine shrimp.

Until the fry are 1 month old, the feeding is still very small, such as moina or others.

After the betta fish is 1 month old, breeders will generally feed the fry with tubifex worms, until they are ready to be marketed, namely when the fry are over 3 months old.

Now when you arrive at the ornamental fish shop, betta fish do not know pellets, until finally the ones who introduce pellets are the ones ornamental fish shop owner.

Such is the journey of a betta fish's life before it reaches you...

Now, we will begin the guide on how to betta fish who don't want to eat pellets yet want to eat pellets

First you don't feed it for 2-3 days, don't worry that your Betta fish won't die with just them didn't eat for 2 days.

After 2 days, please try to give the pellets, they will usually be eaten, even though the way they eat is not as enjoyable as when they eat it natural foods.

If the pellets you give don't run out, take the uneaten pellets and be satisfied again for 1 day, after one day, then give again the same pellet as the first to give.

In this way the next day the betta fish is ready to always eat the pellets that you provide, but remember when feeding the pellets not too much, because it is not good for betta fish or water.
