How often do you feed?
What types and brands of food do you feed?
How much do you feed?

My female has been doing this since I got her...She won't touch flake food...But she spits up the pellets I give her...I'm starting to get a bit worried, maybe the pellets are too big for her?

if you feed your betta with "betta food" you bought, the pellets are not too big for her. A healthy betta will eat like a pig, so a sick betta (may/will) refuse to eat. It could also be that he/she is just very picky with his/her food. If you got him/her at your LFS, he/she would've ate pellets - to make sure always ask/call the store. If you got him/her from thailand or imported from some place, check with the sellers what he/she ate.

if you live in a place where mosquito larvae are abundant, harvest the mosquito larvae from a clean source and feed it to your betta (this is what they eat in the wild). You can also try frozen/live blood worms or brine shrimp.

My betta's main diet consists of two different brands of pellets, carnivore algae flakes (it has a lot of protein but a bit more fibre than pellets - to help cure/prevent constipation. I find this a little less damaging and less stressing to the betta's digestive system) and mosquito larvae as a treat. Variety is the key.

keep me posted how that goes.

She was fed flaked food at the shop. I've gotten her to eat some of the pellets, but not many. She chews them for a second then spits them up. So, next chance I can get ( very very soon I hope ) , I'm going to try and get some live food for her. Or at least some frozen blood worms, seeming as all I have are freeze dried ones... Still very active, she loves swimming loops around her heater. However she still has stress stripes though, so I'm not sure what's going on, maybe her substrate is too bright, I don't know...

ok now it eats the pellet fine.

I'm still having problems getting her to eat... I'm starting to get really nervous about her...
