Betta feeding

**Baby_Baby** · 06-11-2005, 11:52 PM

I have a question about Bubbleio, my betta. I was wondering how often i should feed him. I usually feed him 2 to 3 times a week, rarely 4. is this okay? i feed him about 3 or four small betta bites.

I feed my fish twice a day, but they could live on once a day or even every other day if they had to. You need to feed something other than just pellets all the time. Find some frozen bloodworms to add to his diet. I would feed him 6 times a week. I would alternate between pellets and bloodworms or better yet add a third food (a live food would be great) and feed him each one twice a week.

It depends on the food. I culture white worms in a box of soil as a live food. You can do the same with grindal worms. Daphnia can be kept in a tank of green water or fed yeast. mosquito larvea will show up in any container of water left outside for any lenght of time. You can buy live brine shrimp or black worms.
