I brought my two fishes inside a bottle for 2 hours while I travelled back home from hostel. Mistakenly I forgot to take their food along with. I also didn't know what brand I was feeding so I bought Optimum fish food to feed them. But they aren't ea
They may be stressed from the trip, the water may be too cold (low temps can affect appetite in fish) or the water chemistry may be off. Consider a partial water change. Use only conditioned water that is temperature matched to prevent further stress or shock. The fish food is fine. They will likely eat it once conditions are corrected and they settle down.

My betta fish isn't eating and he seems really scared. What should I do?
Lower the light, limit trafffic in front of aquarium, check water quality and adjust as needed. Give a safe structure for Salsa to hide if he needs security. If you have to do a water change, make it progressively not drastically. We do not want to stress him furthermore. Hope salsa feels better. Cool name for a beta.

My Neon Tetra is not eating and I am feeding it the right amount and the water is at the normal temperature for Neon Tetras also what should I do?
Check the water chemistry. This is done using a liquid home test kit or by submitting a sample for testing. Most pet or fish stores will do this for free or for a small fee. Ammonia and nitrites should be at 0 ppm and nitrates can be 40ppm or less. Partial water changes can be done to stabilize chemistry and maintain water quality. Use only aged or conditioned water that is temperature matched to prevent stress or shock. Try soaking food in garlic juice to stimulate the appetite. A 2-3 day fast followed by hand feeding bits of cooked and shelled green peas or spirulina may also promote regularity.

I have a male beta fish that will not eat (or at least I haven’t seen him eat). I got him 5 days ago. He’s in a 1 gallon bowl. I got him the recommended beta pellets but he can’t seem to get them to stay down. He gets excited when I feed him but when
Hello, I recommend checking water quality parameters first for any fish displaying abnormal behavior. For starters, I'd recommend keeping your fish in a larger tank as it is much easier to keep the water clean over time. This website is a good reference for basic betta fish care: https://bettafish.org/care/ I hope this helps. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

I have a better for about 1 month now. I started giving him his food which is the bloodworms. Now he doesn't really eat and leaves the bloodworms sink to the bottom tank. I don't know what to do or what to think?
Thanks for reaching out about Blew and including a photo. Bloodworms are a poor diet for betta fish, lacking vitamins and minerals. Check and correct water quality for pH, ammonia, nitrites and nitrates. Betta fish need to eat a pelleted diet that is fortified in vitamins and minerals. Packets of food should be replaced every 2-3 months as vitamins degrade quickly. If anorexia continues, a veterinary visit is recommended to test for intestinal, gill or skin parasites which can cause anorexia, along with other problems. Good luck.
