Hi,
I have a few zebra danios and fire ring danios, and yesterday I added a female betta to my tank (it is 20 gallons). My concern is that every time I fed them today, the danios gobbled up the food before the betta even got to it! They seem to have much faster reaction times... And of course they won't stop eating, they just keep going and going until there is no food left.
Anyway, I bought some betta pellets because I read that bettas won't eat flake food. She spit those out, though. I'm not sure if they were too big or she just didn't want them. And the danios eventually gobbled them up before I could really tell what was going on with her.
I also have freeze dried blood worms and freeze dried brine shrimp. She did manage to eat one blood worm when I fed them as a treat today, but the danios kept eating all the other ones that I dropped in front of her before she could get to them.
Any suggestions? Has anybody had this problem before? My danios are such piggies!
