Do you have a picture that you can share? @Michelle: Yup, that's very normal. Your Betta is reacting to your presence and your voice, or at least the vibrations created in the tank from your voice. @Donna:

Betta are known to jump out of their tanks occasionly. I had one jump out of tank in the office and I didn't find him until monday morning!! He then continued to live for 4 years! So dont' worry, they're pretty tough fish.<br/><br/>As for the eating, you can try to feed him different types of food. Although 'live' food are very popular among Betta fish you may want to try flakes or pellets. Ask for a sample from your local pet store and tell them you only want to test it to see if your betta will eat it. Hopefully, this will determine what he will or will not eat. Sounds likely a picky Betta. Its been known to happen. So stick with it and all the best of luck to you.
