Trouble with marine beta

[Ausndani7]

I recently got a marine beta fish all it does is hide and never comes out or eat. Any ideas on feeding and how to get the fish active?

Well these fish tend to hide and be shy . Just give it time even my established one still hides and become shy from time to time.

Ok but he has to eat right? How can I get him to eat?

I got lucky with mine, she stays swimming all day and eats everything she really likes Krill

I thought these guys are nocturnal. If I'm right he might just be adjusting to aquarium life

What he said... always wanted one but the ones I've seen are pricey and don't really want any more ghost fish lol

To stimulate feeding, try some live ghost shrimp. You can buy them at Petco, Petsmart if your LFS doesn't have them. Acclimate the shrimp over slowly to the salt water before putting them in. Eventually, you'll want to get the Beta to start eating frozen mysis and small pieces of krill and silversides.
