Betta Fish Not Eating For A Month

Betta fish not eating for a month. How long would it take. There can be a few causes for this and there s no need to panic right away. There are a few things you can try at home.

When you re caring for a betta fish it can get very worrisome if they ve suddenly decided to stop eating. Out of the 2 5 months it has not eaten in two months. My betta fish hasn t eaten in over a month.

It is also important to remember that it is a daily feeding of the best fish and not just once a day. I ve had him for nearly two years i bought him from a walmart and had been keeping him in a one gallon tank. The betta fish that is in the tank may be forced to get up to eat a meal during the night or it could be that the betta is trying to get some extra nutrients from the food bowl and needs to do so.

While you should act as soon as you notice your betta not eating it will take them around two weeks to starve to death. My betta doesn t not eat the pellets or the flakes for months. But i ve been only giving him flakes and pellets for months like since may and he won t eat them.

I used to feed it wardley s betta essentials but when i try to feet it it 1 won t eat it or 2 i have to crumble it up into little tiny pieces and then when it eats even a tiny little morsel it always spits it out. These fish can stay without eating for about 14 days two weeks but you are not advised to let them stay that long without eating unless you risk losing them. A friend of mine enlightened me on how bad this was and gave me a new tank a 10 gallon one.
