Sometimes it's difficult to see them eating, watch very closely. Also, it may take them a few feeds to realize what you are giving them is food. As soon as they are large enough try switching to baby brine shrimp.

How long since they hatched? The fry generally don't need food for 3 days. Live food, like microworms or baby brine shrimp, will elicit a stronger feeding response than first bites. Good luck!

I hatched baby brine shrimp for my Betta fry and started feeding them on the third day after hatching. They did very well on them.

He could have been under pressure or scared by skill of something. or maybe he replaced into in simple terms hungry. whilst he hasn't been fed properly till now spawning he will finally turn to consume his youthful :(. He additionally may well be a thoroughly clueless father. provide it some extra tries yet wait a pair weeks for the female to heal up and get extra eggs. If he retains doing it- oh nicely, some adult males in simple terms are not decrease out to be mothers and dads :-P.
