Beta Lovers

The first day we brought our beta home, he ate 3.5 pellets (we’re feeding him Hikari betta pellets). The next day he ate 1, but today he wouldn’t even look at them. This isn’t the first beta I’ve owned, but it’s the first one I’ve had trouble feeding. I know they like blood worms, but I thought those were only supposed to be used as a supplement, so I wanted to get him used to beta pellets first.

Could the water be the problem? I had dechlorinated the water in the tank and followed all the steps you’re supposed to follow to acclimate a new fish to a new tank. We had also bought the fish a live plant and he spends a lot of time either hiding behind it or resting in the leaves of the plant. The other thing he does is rest close to the gravel in the tank. He will swim fairly actively around the tank but always heads towards a wall and swims up and down the wall of the tank with his head against the glass.

Any suggestions?? Ideas? or is it too soon to worry?
I changed the water, tested ammonia, pH, and water hardness and temperature. After the water change, he is much more lively, but still refuses to eat. The store said they only feed their fish the Hikari pellets, so I’m still not entirely sure why he’s not eating…
