I've seen in months. Only problem is the female is eating real well while
the males ignore the brine shrimp and bloodworms. I don't think they've
eaten anything since I got them Saturday night.

Hey RM.

Congrats on the new Bettas.

Sadly, some are fed pellets only and need a little time to reccognize
that there's much better food out there.
Give them a little time. I would, however, try feeding them some
flakes (or pellets) and see if they eat that.

I tried that and they wont eat the tiny soft-moist krill pellets or flakes,
and I have two types. There was rotting food in their containers. Maybe they
need a few days to get back to normal. Someone at Petco really overfed them.

It's also not uncommon for them to go on a hunger strike for even a
week when new. Angelfish are famous for doing this till death.
Bettas, on the other fin, give up and get back to being little piggies
long before that would happen. = )

Well I have nice fresh thawed goodies when they change their minds. I love
the little female. As soon as she sees me she comes to the surface looking
for snacks already. :-)))
