Feeding Your Betta
 |
Remember that your Betta is a carnivore (meat eater), so provide him with a varied and high protein diet. Many Betta foods are available on the market today, and most frozen or processed tropical fish foods are also appropriate. Bettas have small appetites, so don’t overfeed them. Your fish should be able to consume all the food within two minutes of feeding. If there is food in the tank after this time has elapsed, this will contribute to poor water quality and make your Betta more susceptible to disease. You will probably only need to feed your Betta once a day, though some people feed twice a day. If you feed twice a day, remember that this will increase the waste your fish is producing and will also increase the risk of overfeeding, so it becomes more important that you are performing your weekly 10-15% water changes and all necessary filter maintenance. Providing a proper diet will increase your Betta’s life expectancy and bolster his immune system.

my betta fish enjoys pellets more than anything. he wont eat bloodworms or any other live food. he looks at it in discust. i think i have traine dhim toonly eat pellets. i tought him how to eat from my hand. i can pet him with one finger (gently) he likes to swim through hoops, and he even responds to his name. he is in a big 3 gallon tank with plenty of real plants and cavern decorations. he loves it. the little fish i had in there with him loved him and died after 2 years. ( i think they were mollies) i taught my betta lance how to do tricks when he was 4 weeks old. i dont know why he wouldnt eat bloodworms. any ideas??? ******* please?*********

lol I feed Carmichael and Daemon twice a day, I don’t usually fish out the extra fish food because they go back and eat it later. But you are doing good by fishing it out, it keeps your tank clean, keep up the great work! =)
