Betta Feeding

[BettaFishGirl]

Recently I've been really busy and have only been feeding my Betta fish once a day, with pellets. Most days I feed 2x a day, but 2 or 3 days of the week I'm only able to feed once. Is that ok???

2-3 for my normal Bettas, 3-4 for my Giant Betta. I'll sometimes feed flakes too.

My normal bettas acquired deeper colors and are more lively on 4 pellets twice a day. I found 2 pellets to be inadequate. I think once a day feeding of on 2 pellets is not advised. Can’t you fit in a second feeding before you go to bed or are you out of the house several days a week.

Yes I usually do but it's just a couple nights that I can't...I only feed 2 pellets to my very small females since the pellets expands in water but I will definitely up their feeding. Thank you for the advice!!
