[sic0198]

I have some Betta food but I'm trying to find some other stuff to feed it.

I`m feeding my bettas with Atisons Betta Pro and live food once or twice a month. Hope that helps

live food? Like Brine Shrimp? How do you feed the shrimp to the betta

 

[12azor]

Put them in the water and the fish will eat them. Simple stuff.

Yep, Brine Shrimp, Bloodworms etc. As 12azor said just put few in a tank and they will disappear in a blink of an eye

I mean like with the shrimp, you can't put normal sized pieces in, do you cut 'em up a chunk of shrimp is bout as big as the fish is. Do you feed 'em baby brine shrimp?

 

[nataliabeds]

You can get live brine shrimp at most lfs and they are just right size. Never seen those giant brine shrimps you talking about

I fed mine some brine shrimp and it really didn't go for it like I expected. Do bettas normally go nuts when they're given shrimp?

It's the main source of nutrition for my bettas and they love it. I buy it in the frozen cubes, thaw it out, and give them a few a couple times a day. They jump for it. It's good for conditioning as it's high in protein.

I fed actual frozen shrimp before, about medium size. I kept them in the freezer and at feeding time I would take out one and I'd try cutting tiny pieces off but I'd end up using my nails because I tried getting small pieces enough for my Bettas mouth, he would definitely eat the pieces small enough for his mouth. Then I switched over to Hikari frozen brine shrimp, all tropical fihs love it. They come in cube trays but one cube is way too much for a single Betta meal so u have to cut a small piece off from the cube and let it unthaw in a small cup filled with tank water, stirr it around and once its all free floating you pour it in and watch him go crazy for it.

I must have a wierd betta.... I gave Fred brine shrimp and he wouldn't eat them. Worms are all he wants.

 

[princess-lozza]

I feed my fishes the frozen blood worms once a week. The problem is i am never sure if it's too much. I have 3 fishes and they come in those ice cube tray things. Any ideas if im overfeeding?

How long would bloodworms last, once defrosted?

 

[constantine03]

You should only feed a few worms per betta...so one cube at a feeding is def. too much for three bettas. They should last an extra day in the refrigerator.

So I should cut it into little pieces, put it in tank water and let it thaw out. What kind of other things can I feed it?

I only have one fish.
