If a betta fish is not feeling well, they will typically refuse to eat foods that they even previously used to love. This issue can be seen by your betta fish refusing every type of food you try to feed them. This can include live foods like bloodworms, micro worms, and other insect larvae cultures like mosquito larvae. Loss of appetite can be caused by many different types of illnesses. Your betta may refuse to eat during the late stages of a particular health problem like dropsy or fin rot.
Many types of illnesses will cause your betta to become too ill to eat properly which can result in them spitting out their food and then leaving it. Betta fish are less likely to spit out food if they like the taste of it.
This makes it important to provide your betta fish with the best possible diet that is purely made from protein-rich components. If you think that your betta fish may be spitting out food because they are ill, then it is best to treat them with the right medication and see if their appetite changes from then on. We hope this article has helped you determine why your betta fish may be spitting out food and how you can correct this behavior!
Hence, he spits out the food to allow it to break down in the water before eating the meal in smaller portions. The same principle applies to live and frozen foods, such as bloodworms. You may see your betta grabbing a worm and appearing to swallow it, only to spit it out again. But watch closely, and you will most likely see your pet biting small chunks off of the worm with his tiny, sharp teeth and eating it in small portions.
You can help your fish by pre-soaking dried and freeze-dried fish food in a little bit of tank water before feeding them to your fish. Pellets typically swell to several times their dry size, and the same is often true of freeze-dried bloodworms. Pre-soaked food is already hydrated, so your fish will be able to eat it without having to regurgitate it, especially if you crumble the food into manageable sized portions before offering it to your pet.
One common problem for betta fish is digestive issues. That can lead to your betta refusing food altogether or spitting it out. So, what health problems could be causing your pet to spit out his food? Constipation is probably the most common digestive issue for betta fish.
The most obvious symptom is a bloated belly , which is easy to spot when viewing your pet from the top and from the sides. You don't really need the air stone, it's just that agitation helps to release the dissolved gases more quickly so you don't have as long to wait for a result. Dissolved CO2 forms a weak acid which results in a lower pH. Driving that off if there is any should result in a higher pH. My fish ate his pellets his morning.
I fed them to him one at a time He did not spit anything out. I think he learned his lesson since yesterday morning after I removed them when he spit them out. Sometimes if I just put all 3 in a once he will gobble up all 3 at once Now it seems he needs smaller bites.
OK this is a reallyyyyy silly question.. Is it possible that a fish can injure or lose its teeth?? I ask because before all this started.. I noticed by fish seemed to be crunching on his pellets more than usual I could hear the crunching. I think some of them could've gotten wet when I put the spoon back in the food I've gotten new food since Hey, sounds good to me!
Hubble Tea. Click to expand They are so small they pretty much never even see them. I just feed my betta whenever he looks like he needs food I tell by his tummy. I do see him come to the stop and spit white stuff out of his mouth though.. I think he is hunting them lol. My betta does not look bloated at all I used to feed him twice a day but switched to feeding him once.
I actually have frozen worms to feed him I was thinking maybe I can take the brine shrimp and roll it into small bits.. Might make it easier for the fish to eat it or recognize it as food.
My issue with the Brine shrimp is its consistency Bettas aren't though types of eaters lol. The one worry I still have is the lack of poop.
Do you notice the the worms eat the fish's poop? Since I've gotten these worms.. There is no fish poop on the bottom or even plant decay. Prior my white sand was always looking dirty. Try mysis shrimp over brine.. I didnt know that. I might even have baby brine shrimp Maybe that is also part of the issue.
So I got the Mysis shrimp and feed them to my betta this morning! He ate them! One of the mysis shrimps actually feel off the tweezers into the water.. I think that seems okay. Thanks for the suggestion.
These are definitely better than the Brine shrimp with them being bigger. Because at least I can actually grab an actual shrimp and give it to him and its not just crumbs floating in the tank. I don't even see an actual shrimp from the frozen brine package. I think what I thought were "worms" in my tank are actually Copepods. They are super tiny and do not move like worms. I had a betta who actually used to hunt copepods. I have no idea how he could even see them.
Yay on the success with the mysis shrimp!!! Glad it worked for you! Similar Aquarium Threads T. Replies 2 Views Nov 4, t0bias. FishFor May 11, Betta Fish.

Why is my fish spitting out the food? In this article, we will list some of the reasons that may be causing this problem. Fish can put food in their mouths and spit out for a number of reasons.
Below, we will list some reasons that may be causing this problem with your fish. Most fish are not demanding eaters and devour any type of food you offer them. Try a different type of feed. There are several types on the market, such as flakes, pellets and freeze-dried. Above all, a variation in diet is the key to keeping fish healthy. Many fish like to nibble on the aquarium substrate and suck up algae that may be stuck to it. In that case, eating can become a very difficult task.
Goldfish, for example, as they have the largest mouths, are the champions in this regard, however, we do not recommend that you perform the removal of the stone on your own, but that you do it with a trusted veterinarian.
Fish need to flex their gills while eating.
