Feeding You Betta

[devon_charm]

As title really. I just wanted to know what you fed them and why you decided to use what you do. Also do you feed anything different when conditioning them for spawning - i don't mean live foods

well each week mine get, flake, pellets bloodworm and occasionally a pea, not bred or planning on breeding anytime soon so no conditioning for me YET!

 

[littlest]

Hikari Bio-Betta pellets alternated with a betta flake (can't remember the brand, possibly Tetra). Once a week he gets bloodworms in jelly.

Not much thought went into what I feed him to be honest. I thought alternating between a pellet and a flake would be better than feeding the exact same everyday, and thought bloodworms would make a nice treat. I should probably add a bit more variety. Gonna hatch some brine shrimp soon, he loves 'em.

I've always fed mine Hikari Betta Bio-Gold; they all love it LOL, I can sure tell when it's feeding time, they all go crazy hehe!
I also give them brine shrimp occasionally, they like that too.
& frozen bloodworms sometimes.

I do about like everyone else, Angel gets Hikari Betta pellets every day---freeze dried bloodworms 2 to 3 times a week (usually 3 at a feeding) and then a betta flake or two every 2 to 3 days or when I feel like it. I know alot of bettas don't like flake food but over the last few years I've never had a betta to turn it down yet, I guess I'm fortunate.

My Beuatiful boy gets pellets, and every few days he gets brine shrimp. And every once in a blue moon, I give him cucumber. I actually gave him some just a couple days ago I also do partial water changes like once a week.

Well, my retired bettas eat pellet food most of the time, but get treats whenever I have leftovers.
For a normal diet for my breeders, I feed them as wide of a variety as I can come up with. I feed them cucumbers, shelled peas, boiled egg yolks, etc. For conditioning I feed them less vegies and more live food such as mosquito larvae and those little water fea thinks. They love those!!! And occasionaly they get a treat of yonge brine shrimp. I feed them this 2-3 times a day depending on their weight and personal prefered diet.
