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 in case they were to big and sometimes she eats them but spits the rest out. Why?

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.
