Just go to www.google.com and click on images then type in betta. And no bettas can't eat flakes because they are carniovers and need food that is specially made for them like I feed all my bettas betta granules and they love it.

Bettas can eat flakes, Durbkat. I have 16 Bettas, all of them will eat flakes, some quite willingly.

Though it is good if you alternate in some high-protein foods, and maybe a few veggies too.

 

[Durbkat]

I meant they can eat it but they won't live long because flakes don't have protein and whatever else carnvories like bettas need. I know this because one of my young bettas two years ago died because all he ate was flakes and had no meat in his diet.

(please don't take any of this as an insult)had you done your research you would have found out you can buy carnivore flake also it says in your sig you have 2 bettas in 1/2 gal tanks while I don't want to lecture and start an arguement I feel you should at least take it out of your sig if not buy 2 1gal tanks for tham because you are setting a bad example for newbies to bettas

Well their is nothing wrong with keeping a betta in 1/2g fish bowls and don't feel I should/have to remove it. Also you don't have to get sarcastic and say well if you'd done your research blah,blah,blah their is no carnivore flake food at my lps so...

My girlfriend has a betta in a 5g tank. She tried to feed it with fish flakes and the betta refused them. she now feeds him on frozen bloodworm and also something else (not sure what it is)

well seeing as you decided to take it as an insult and have a fit at me I may as well say 1/2 gal bowl are to small they are inhumane and owning one makes you inhumane and I wasn't being sarcastic you should have done your research and if your local lps didn't have it I'm sure another would.

We have 5 bettas at home and all but one eat flake foods. The 4 that do eat them, we bought at the pet store, the one that won't eat them we got from a breeder and I'm guessing he was only fed live foods seeing as how the breeder takes such good care of her fish (www.bcbetta.ca). He won't even eat pellets

pet shop bettas are used to pellets and flakes so they usually eat them eagerly

LOL, blah, blah to you, mine eat flakes, if you're that bothered mix in some dried daphnia/bloodworm, feed live every so often for a change, and I very much doubt the betta died because of his diet Know what flakes are made of? Fish. And what is fish? Meat. What does meat contain? Protein. There we are, case solved

I would suggest this food rather than flakes. It is specifically made for bettas and will be much less messy. You drop a pellet in and they eat it immediately. Nothing to sink to the bottom and decay. I feed mine 2 or 3 a day plus some bloodworms and other frozen food a couple times a week.
