my darling betta inky is getting quite thin he hasnt eaten for about four days!

i give him tropical fish flakes and rip them up and he gobbles them up they stay in for a while and then he spits them out again

my female bettas are doing the same

mea culpa the food was allowed to go stale for and hour so its not crispy anymore will this be causeing it

i cant get to any fish shops for a couple of weeks now due to our car being damaged

the only other food i have in the house is catfish and algae eater pellets will these work

How long have you had these fish?

It sounds like they're new fish just being resistant to a change in food. They'll get hungry enough to eat it soon.
