I have one betta. I got him last Friday. I have yet to see him eat. When
I drop the pellets in, he comes over to insect them, maybe pokes at them and
swims off. He won't eat if I'm watching. The pellets always disappear
after a bit. He seems healthy & happy so I assume he is eating them in
privacy. Maybe he is waiting for them to soften up a bit.
