I have my betta girl, Delilah, in a 10 gal tank with her buddy, Jimmy, a Cory Catfish. Delilah eats NOTHING. I bought her a small, new container of food, just for her, to see if she'd eat it. Wasn't in her mouth for 3 seconds before she spit it out. (It wasn't even all the way in her mouth!) Nor does she eat the Tropical flakes I have. It worries me, since I haven't seen her eat anything in three weeks. (I dunno how the skinny little chick is still alive.) I dropped some bloodworms into the tank, but she either didn't see them, or totally ignored them. Jimmy is up for eating anything.

See, my issue is that I can't try giving her betta-specific food, since she's not alone, and whatever she doesn't eat gets shot down into the bottom of the tank by the filter. Where Jimmy eats it. And I'm not exactly rich right now, so I can't really spend a lot of money on 20 different types of fish food... any suggestions?

Hi Azu. I didn't know you were in this guild too!

Maybe you should try feeding her in a different container. Like move her into it for feeding then put her back in the tank. That's what a lot of axolotl owners do to keep their tanks from being messy during feeding time. ight work with a betta.
