Bettas And Blood Worm....

[1234-fishy-freind]

My betta Theo that a got on Thursday will only eat blood worm, i tried flake and he dosn't eat it, he just leaves it to sink which then messes up the water. I can't keep giving him it everyday though because i would run out too fast and he dosn't eat a whole cube so i have to give the rest to my other fish but i like giving then a lot of different food in their diets. So here are my questions.
1) Is it bad to feed a betta on just blood worm.
2) What food apart from flake and meat foods should I try ?

Bloodworm is high in protein and should only be fed once a week as it will cause your etta to become bloated.
You could try feeding pellets as most Bettas enjoy these. It's a case of being persistent with food, if he doesn't eat it straight away then keep trying for 2-3 days. He'll soon get hungry and have no choice but to eat it.

Will they eat pees if i smush them in my fingers first ?

Peas wouldn't be good as a staple (main) diet. They also make the water cloudy if he doesnt eat it. (You have to put it in the microwave for a few seconds, and take off the shell first before feeding it to him.)
You will have to not feed him until he eats what he should be eating. Try hikari pellets as they dont sink very fast.
