The big box stores usually don't feed them for weeks and I've also witnessed a betta living after months of no food and no water changes. It will do fine if he doesn't eat the pellets. He will eventually get hungry enough to eat it. Better than spending more money on more expensive foods. I would only give them the frozen stuff every now and then as a treat.

New UPDATE!!! Betta is finally eating, I tried many food from betta flakes, tropical flake, Omegaone shrimp pellet, Hikari freezedried bloodworm. The betta went for the flakes but spit it out immediately, it's going for the pellet and finally accepting them. No success with bloodworm so far because........ MY BETTA IS A BOTTOM DWELLER!!!... after a week in the tank, the betta finally picked its territory at the bottom of the tank where all the plants, the rock, the huge leaf anubias are. Dont know how to feed it blood worm without its being consume by the crazy guppies, platies and swordtail.

Another relating update, I got a 45 gallon tank from another member, I'll be working on it probably next weekend since my filter and gravel isn't coming yet. but it's coming a long. hopefully I'll be able to do it next week. After I finish, these little guys will be moving to the new home, a lot larger, a log more spacious.

it is very odd for a betta to be a bottom dweller, although they will sleep in caves or stuff themselves around plant roots to sleep. make sure the topwater current isnt too strong. betta love live food if you can find daphnia or mosquito larvae

I reduced the current on my AC20 to minimum, it gets to the top just fine, but this betta spends most of the time in mid or bottom around the java fern and giant leaves anubias, I've seen it sleeping on the giant leaf one night, lying on the side like a dead fish. It's eating now... like a pig... so that's a good sign... I just want it to spend more time at the top so I can introduce blood worm, because as of right now all blood worm get consume so quick by other fishes and this betta doesn't bother go to the top for food, it waits for food to sink
