How to tell if your betta fish is hungry?
Betta fish are often considered one of the easiest fish to take care of. However, if your betta fish is not eating or is losing weight, it may be hungry. Hungry betta fish may display a number of signs, including: being inactive, staying close to the bottom of the tank, swimming in circles, gorging on food, and having a swollen abdomen. You can also check the water level to see if it is getting low – betta fish will usually swim up to the top of the water to eat when their tank is low. If your betta fish seems sluggish or unhealthy-looking, take it to a vet for a check-up.

Betta fish are attracted to food that is floating in water. When your betta fish is hungry, it will swim towards food and may even jump out of the water to get to it. Make sure to provide your betta fish with fresh food every day – this can be small live or frozen foods such as daphnia, brine shrimp, bloodworms, and insect larvae. Betta fish will also eat flakes, pellets, and vegetables that have been soaked in water. If your betta fish is not eating or appears to be sick, take it to a pet store for examination.
What to do if your betta fish doesn’t eat?
If your betta fish isn’t eating, there are a few things you can do to help him or her eat. First, check the water temperature. A betta fish will eat more if the water is at a comfortable temperature. Second, make sure the water is clean and contains adequate levels of dissolved oxygen. Third, try new foods. Some betta fish like different types of food, so try new foods to see if your betta fish likes them. Fourth, set up a feeding schedule. Feed your betta fish on a regular schedule even if he or she is not eating. Fifth, monitor your betta fish’s behavior. If your betta fish doesn’t eat, monitor his or her behavior for any changes such as sluggishness, poor swimming, or increased aggression.

Once you know what type of food your betta fish likes, it is important to provide it on a regular basis. A good rule of thumb is to feed your betta fish once a day, but this frequency can be adjusted based on your pet’s age, health, and activity level.
