I found really small fish in a freshwater pond and dont know what to fees them . What should i do ?
You can try feeding them commercial fish food or meal works from your local pet store. If you would like a consult, you can provide pictures and we can give you a better idea of what kinds of fish they are and if they have special requirements for their diet. Hope this helps!

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.

I just got a betta fish yesterday. He was fine and swimming an hour ago but now he is at the bottom of the tank just kinda laying there and Hindi g in his cave. He is still alive just lathergic. I think he is dying. We put 8 drops of water conditione
Check the water chemistry and temperature. Use a home test kit or submit a water sample for testing. Most pet stores will do this for free or for a small fee. Aim for 0 ppm ammonia and nitrites with nitrates at 20 ppm or less. Perform partial water changes, no more than 30% total volume at a time, to stabilize chemistry and improve water quality. Use only aged or conditioned water that is temperature matched to prevent stress or shock. Bettas are tropical fish and do best between 78 F and 80 F. You may need a small, submersible water heater to maintain temperature. Feed either the pellets or the bloodworms at one meal. Offering both is too much and he likely won't eat it all. Any uneaten food will rot in the tank and foul the water.

why is my betta fish (Steve) laying at the bottom of his bowl not wanting to eat anymore and only comes up for air !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Is he going to die ?!
Check the water temperature. It may be too cold. Bettas do best between 78F and 80F. Low temps can affect appetite and activity. You should also check the water chemistry. This can be done using a liquid home test kit or by submitting a sample for testing. Most pet stores or fish stores will do this for free or for a small fee. Ammonia and nitrites should read 0.25 ppm or less with nitrates at 40ppm or less. 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.

We recently just two more Bettas. They are roomies and seem to coexist with each other. When we feed them is the concern. Tia will not eat anything. Anything Bea doesn’t get to tia eats then spits out. We have crushed the pellets into pieces for her
Check water chemistry and quality as well as temperature. Try a different brand of pellets. You can also try micro pellets, they may be easier to eat. Soaking food in some garlic juice may stimulate her to eat.
