The Sharks and Tetras can eat a high quality flake food every day. Brine shrimp (either live or frozen) and blood worms can also be offered. Tetra and Hikari are my own recommendations. The Pleco can eat fresh greens or vegetables. Remove any uneaten food after 24 hours to prevent fouling the water. Sinking wafers or pellets can also be offered.

Try feeding Hikari Micro Pellets. The smaller size may make eating easier for him. You can also offer live blackworms as well as bloodworms. Confirm adequate water quality, proper water chemistry and adequate temperature. Bettas do best between 78F and 80F. If he is in a bowl or tank with no filter, weekly (or more frequent) water changes may be necessary.

Thanks for reaching out about Arrow. Dried shrimp is an inappropriate diet for fish as low in calcium (no bones), high in phosphorus. Being dried, many other nutrients (vitamins) are destroyed. A commercial pellet in addition to whole fish is recommended. Monitor water quality as healthy water is important for a healthy fish. Good luck.

Thanks for reaching out. If is a good idea to fast for 1-2 days prior to shipment, this decreased feces and will help to keep the ammonia down. Typically clear bags are utilized with about 50% water, and 50% air/oxygen used. A local pet store might be able to assist, as they get shipment in (so have older bags and boxes, which need to be disinfected) and hopefully the skills to ship. Check with the airline also, box needs to be well labelled "LIE ANIMALS" and "THIS END UP". Sometimes a health certificate for interstate travel is needed, so contact airline and State of Utah, veterinarian. Good luck.
