Feeling sorry for them, I bought two females and a male from Wal-Mart. Unfortunately, they are all not eating, despite the fact that I have them in treated distilled water with a small pinch of aquarium salt, I've checked the quality, and I've treated them with Quick Cure. My other two males, both gotten from a local-owned pet store, are doing absolutely fine and will eat. I'm very concerned that the trauma they suffered at Wal-Mart will keep them from eating and they'll end up dying. Is there a way to encourage a betta to eat? I've tried Tetramin Tropical Crisps, Tetramin Tropical Granules, and even freeze-dried bloodworms! Nothing seems to work for these little gals and guy. Would brine shrimp encourage them to eat more than what I've tried? I appreciate all the help!
