...live fish and its been? 2 days, he eats his vitamins but hasn't the eaten the worms, what other live fish can i feed it?
 
The guy at the pet store is on crack. I've had 5 betas, they all eat fish food just fine. Get shrimp pellets, or fish flakes that have some sort of fish in them. If you really need to feed it live fish maybe you could try brine shrimp, or baby feeder fish.
 
I've never used live food with my guys, as I fear parasites.
Having raised betta's and many other fish for years I can tell you they'll eat frozen, freeze dried and comercially produced flakes and pellets quite readily.
They can, however, be very picky on brand and type. I usually recommend asking exactly what kind of food was used in the store.
Best of Luck!
