Okay, in the past, hmm about week, my fish will NOT eat their pellets. They ignore them and let them sink. I treat them to freeze-dried bloodworms a couple times a week, and they don't hesitate when it comes to eating those. Anyways, I'm just a little bit worried that my fish aren't eating properly. Any advice, tips or anything?

Some of my fish will not eat them.... But try crushing them a little bit. Also soking them in the blood worms will give them the same flavor as then so hopefully they will take them.

any other symptoms that might imply they are sick?  Anything like not being as active, duller colours, etc?  In my experience, my fish only eat less when they are sick!

I'm with Ian on this one...  Bettas should devour whatever meaty food that is offered them.  what kind of food are you feeding them and what temperature is their water?
