Hi there! My poor female betta who I have had for over a year has stopped eating! I have always had bettas and have a lot of experience with them but i have never had them stop eating for more than 3 or 4 days and im really worried! She was in a tank with 3 male guppies and 2 corydoras, in a 10 gallon tank and I did a water change (25%) and changed the filter out for a clean one. I conditioned the water before i left for a few days over memorial day weekend and had my brother sprinkle some bloodworms and tropical flake mix in there for them and when i left she was happy and eating plenty, she always is excited to see me. When I came back all of my other fish are happy and healthy but she did not come up to see me and is not interested in eating at all! I tested the water and all of my levels are normal and I even took a sample to the pet store and he said everything was fine... I moved her to a small, gentle filter flow tank, and put betta fix and fresh conditioned water in there. Her color is healthy, her stress lines are not visible at all, and she does not have any parasite that i can see. Since i moved her she is taking notice of my finger a little bit and shes not frightened of me like she was. I just dont understand why she is scared, uninterested, and not eating. HELP!
 
if you've had her over a year she could just be starting to wind down physiologically, i recently lost my crown tail after having him for 14 months, his eating slowed down to once/twice a week, he started losing colour after a couple of weeks, kept getting steadily slowly and less alert and eventually died. i hope i'm wrong. tried live food? Always perk mine right up.
