feeding my betta

[TAZZ]

just a quick ques about feeding, i know its once a day, but when i feed him, i place around 4-5 grubs of around size 5mm in the tank, and he eats them all. should i put more in after or stop? how do u know when to stop feeding?

i also read that when feeding, watch the fish for about 10 minutes then take out any excess food (reduce waste and chem build up in the tank).

so should i keep feeding til he stops eating or should i feed a little, and then stop?

thanks

There's an old saying you can never starve a fish. I think it holds true, I'd just keep feeding the betta the way you are

Several small feedings thru the day is better than one large.

You may want to feed him twice (morning/night) rather than just once.

so ur saying keep feeding til he dont eat any more???

if thats the case, then whats classified as overfeeding?

I think that meant tis better to underfeed than to overfeed - didn't it?

Yes I mean underfeed is better, overfeeding all sorts of problems! Just keep up what you're doing it seems to be going well.
