what you do feed your Betta?

[lilmisstrouble]

been doing a bit of research and websites say such different things I thought I'd ask what you all feed yours? Mine gets blood worm and seems to enjoy it!

 

[red-devil0602]

mine love bloodworm but if thats all they have they can get constipated, mine have peas bloodworm hakari pellets and tetra-pro colour

 

[tacofrano]

i give my bettas tetra min and wardley betta food but my fishes have a hard time eating the wardley food it is too big for them so i cut it up

 

[50000_tears]

tacofranco- id recomend Hikari biogold, its the perfect size.

i feed mine bio gold ,freeze dried shrimp(cut up its huge) ,betta min,betta shakers food,freeze dried blood worms and an occasional pea

I feed mine live blackworms, live tubiflex worms, live brine shrimp, Hikari Bio-Gold, HBH Betta bites & freeze-dried bloodworms. They like the blackworms best!

Here they're eating tubiflex worms:

 

[eudielynn]

Hikari bio-gold pellets 2-3 in the mornings and on the nights I don't give bloodworms or peas, frozen bloodworms 2-3 times a week, blanched pea, 1-2 times per week.

EEWWWW Those tubiflex worms look yucky! It looks like there are a million in there --> do you remove the feeder after a certain amount of time or do you have enough bettas that they eat them all? How do you keep them?

I feed Hikari bio-gold (3 pellets AM & PM), 1 pea/week + freeze-dried bloodworms once a week ... and bubbles always seems starved!

I usually put an amount in there and leave it in each betta tank for about 5 minutes, monitoring them carefully. Its fun to watch them attack the worms. Sometimes they pull so much out of the cone that they swim around with worms dangling out their mouths. Whatever is left I usually put in my 20g for the livebearers to finish off. I keep them in a covered dish in the fridge and rinse them everyday with cold water.

I feed mine HBH Betta Pellets, bloodworms once a week as a treat, and they also get peas once a week

Mine get a mix of Wardley pellets and Hikari Gold..couple times a week they get freeze dried BM's or if I am feeling nice..frozen ones. Then once a week they all get a pea.

 

[Seahorse]

Bio-gold, bloodworms (I'd love to try some live foods sometime) and they adore cucumber. They only get that once in a blue moon and cherish it

 

[daudy_dojo]

i feed mine ... bettamin flakes, hikari bio-gold, BBSm and bloodworms!

I put in a slice of cucumber for my snail last night (cuz I thought he would enjoy it) and neither Bubbles nor the snail (yes he is called Gary too ) would go anywhere near it ... finally pulled it out after about 1 hour in the tank

I also feed HBH pellets to my girls. They're small enough for their dainty mouths... Bo gets frozen brine shrimp because he refuses to eat pellets (even after starving himself for 3 weeks). And I just got a new boy!! He'll probably get a mix of both. I also feed them all snacks of bloodworms and peas occasionally.

As for the Tubiflex worms, they may look disgusting, but MAN do bettas ever love them. Ah what we'll do for our fish. I dunno, they don't look as gross as the mealworms I feed my geckos... ewww.

 

[Ethos]

I give them a pinchful of blood worms....
