I've tried offering him bloodworms, pellets, and flakes- nothing works ! he just ignores everything i offer him.
i got him about 5 days ago and he hasn't eaten since, any suggestions ?
 
If you have a bigger tank first shift you betta over to that. All these food that you might have put in the watter will make the water dirty and the fish will get sick. Dont worry i think he probably need some fresh water and some sun light. If possible try to feed another fish to him a verry smaller one which will make your Betta fish happy. Also in the new tank pour some lake water if possible which will cure your betta since it contains some fungus which is good for your fish.
 
Raise the water temperature to 80F and change about 1/3 of the water every day. That should perk him up.
 
give him time and don't forget to remove any food that he doesn't eat after 15 minutes
 
Does your Betta have a live plant in his tank? If so he's feeding off the roots.. And he will Never eat anything you give him! I had one for over 2 years and never ate food! I didn't know why until I read about it after he had died..But it wasn't my choice..he was given to me with a lucky bamboo plant in his bowl and that's the way he was! So I didnt wanna remove him if he wasnt eating his food.
