My betta is a slob!!!
I started feeding him freexed dried blood worms for a while and now he wont switch back to his pellets
They get fungused up and im afraid hes not eating??

Not surprising....would you go back to pellets after having the real thing?

I always feed freese dried blood worms to my bettas as well. Just cut down on the amount you are feeding. If he is leaving some long enough to grown fungus then there is just too much food in the tank. It only takes a very tiny amount (maybe 3 to 4 worms at most).

Also, anything he doesn't eat, take out of the tank.

Okay- he is a picky betta...
but what bottom cleaners could i get?????

Would marble shrimp be okay?
A lady at petsmart said hed be a snack(betta)

But she also says a 50 gal. is okay for an oscar

What size tank is your betta in? If he is in a big enough tank I would suggest 3 cories. More than likely any shrimp you put in the tank will likely be eaten by the betta.
