Hi,
I have a new betta in my (cycled) 10 gallon tank, and, unlike my previous betta, he doesn't seem to like feeding at the top of the tank. When I brought him home, he wouldn't eat the "good" pellets but ate a few flakes. Definitely didn't act like the little vacuum that the old betta was. I offer him flakes morning and night, but he doesn't seem much interested.
It's been three weeks, and he looks fine and lively. He seems to like searching around the bottom of the tank a lot. Is he finding the food that has sunk there? I throw in some sinking pellets just in case. I thought that when he was acclimated, he'd start acting "normal," but not yet.
I wish I could find out how much he's eating, and what. Any ideas?
Thanks!
