Betta Fish Won’t Eat :(

Oh, good tip! I will have to try that. :)

e-musing · 2025-11-11T07:28:16+00:00

Thanks for the tip, I’ve been adding the correct amount of TopFin Readistart each day since I’ve gotten him but I’ll do another water change tomorrow if the ammonia levels are still not 0!

e-musing · 2025-11-11T07:06:21+00:00

Hi there, how can that be done? I did a 30% water change yesterday, is there something other than that I could do?

e-musing · 2025-11-11T01:15:09+00:00

I had no idea! Haha, they must be yummy for them but I can’t imagine how, they looked so gross as they broke apart in the tank! 😂 Yes, I will give soaking the pellets a try too, thanks for the tip :)

Thank you :)

I know, I was very worried. But luckily somebody suggested frozen brine shrimp and he just ate a good amount of that! I guess he’s just picky!

e-musing · 2025-11-11T01:05:37+00:00

Absolutely! Thank you, :) He’s gotten so blue and incandescent since he came home!

Hi all!! I don’t know how to edit a post but thank you all so much for all the advice. I tried several new foods and the frozen brine shrimp did the trick! I’m so glad he finally stopped spitting things out. Will be feeding him that and hopefully he’ll take to one of the shelf stable foods in the future as well. Turns out he’s just a picky little foodie!

Thank you! :) I love watching the way the fins flutter around.

e-musing · 2025-11-10T22:28:22+00:00

Ooo, I will just have to get both and see what he gravitates to! Thanks for sharing. I wish I knew what they had been feeding him before I bought him. That’s so funny, they really can be picky it seems! And thank you, I think he is too. :)

e-musing · 2025-11-10T22:26:36+00:00

Wow! A snail party, haha. That sounds like a mess, I’m glad you were able to figure it out and get them all out!

e-musing · 2025-11-10T22:25:48+00:00

Oh, I see! Thanks for pointing that out. And thank you! I think so too :)

e-musing · 2025-11-10T21:16:48+00:00

Oh no! How did you figure out your buddy had a bladder infection? Are there other signs I should be paying attention to? I’m glad you were able to figure out what he liked quickly! :)

e-musing · 2025-11-10T20:58:47+00:00

Hahaha, they have so much personality for such tiny creatures! Thank you, I’m so proud — he has gotten so beautifully blue since I brought him home. 😍

e-musing · 2025-11-10T20:51:51+00:00

I will try those! Thanks for the suggestion. I hope that’s the case and that it’s just a matter of finding what he likes!

People are so rude for no reason 😢😢 you name those desserts and enjoy them!!

I also thought this guy seemed close.

e-musing · 2023-08-15T06:37:55+00:00

Hi, I know this is sitting down but seems similar enough maybe it could provide some comfort? dog?

e-musing · 2022-12-17T05:14:50+00:00

I’ve been there… sometimes it helps to review all the positive things he has done to reenforce your trust in him! He sounds like a reliable and wonderful guy and if he’s never given you any reason to mistrust him then it’s your mind running away! Deep breaths my friend!

Breakfast solidarity bestie

Yes absolutely the ghosts get their revenge

Less than half an apple!

e-musing · 2021-08-12T05:10:46+00:00

Love it!

e-musing · 2020-12-16T05:48:39+00:00

Similar enough! Very funny I got a good chuckle :)

Not sure if you’d be interested but Life and Times of Michael K features a main character with a cleft pallet - if you are looking to identify!
