Food & NutritionMy new betta fish won't eat his pellets. Why is he spitting them out?
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:
