Feed your fish betta pellets and flakes. This type of food is specially designed to visit all of your bettas’ nutritional needs. When you are purchasing betta food you should consider that it is easier to measure the pellets.

The best policy is to only feed your betta three pellets of food a day. You can select to feed them all at once, or stretch the feeding throughout the day.

One or two times a week you can vary your bettas’ diet by offering live food e.g. blood worms, fruit flies or brine shrimp. Treats should only be fed one or two times a week.
