How Often Should I Feed My Betta?

If you are dealing with a betta fish in your teens or a fish that is 2-3 months old, it is advisable to divide the food into 2 portions to feed it into smaller pieces every day. Pellet flakes are available in bite-sized and friendly portions, but for longer-lasting frozen foods you may need to cut smaller portions.

When feeding your Betta pellet feed, two to three pellets per feed per fish is sufficient to prevent you from accumulating waste food. The packaging of your pellets should contain instructions on how many pellets your Bota can split into two feeds. Bed fish on this feed should not be overfed, so if you notice significant bloating in your belly, reduce the number of pellets or switch to live or frozen food.

Betta food is available in different varieties, so you can choose which requires a different feeding quantity. Feeding is not necessarily every 12 hours, but a 12-hour feeding schedule can help you remember when to feed your Betta. Feed your beta early in the morning or late at night so that the food you have consumed can be digested before your next meal.

Too much or too little of the right feed can cause problems, so you need to be careful how much feed you use to feed beta fish. Most beta holders advise to provide a wide range of pellets, fish flakes, live, frozen and freeze dried foods.

Live food consists of water insects, bloodworms, salt shrimp and daphnia that resemble what betas eat in the wild, making them one of the best options for your beta. Living frozen food is also a good option for your fish, and one of them is sold by Best Fish & Pet Stores.

In order to maintain your Bettas digestive system in order and to prevent your pet from suffering from nutritional health problems, feed your fish six days a week, including a fasting day when your pet eats no food at all. In order to make the diet of Bettas pets good, Bettas pellet and flake food should be enriched with regular portions of frozen food, frozen food and fresh live food.

There are a variety of foods and methods to help your fish become happy and strong without becoming overweight. I hope I have provided you with a lot of information and options that you should consider when feeding your new fish. By providing them with a healthy diet in the right quantities, you have taken an important first step towards ensuring your new boyfriend a long and happy life.
