Betta fish need to be fed a proper diet. Though pet stores sell generic food, you should ensure that you feed your betta fish appropriate food. Generally, betta fish can eat a wide variety of food.
Betta fish should be fed twice a day. You can take a small pinch of food in the morning, and a small pinch in the evening. You should make sure you do not overfeed them. Extra food will become waste and generate toxins when they sit in the bottom of the tank. If your fish overeats the extra food, it can become ill and develop illnesses due to overeating. Check to ensure that your fish is not gaining weight - a bulge may develop in their belly area if they are eating too much!
Pellets
Betta fish enjoy eating pellets. Pellets can be used a staple for betta fish diets. The pellets must be specifically made for betta fish! The pellets will sink after time, so make sure that you give just enough food to ensure any extra food does not fowl the tank.
Flakes
Betta fish do not always like flakes. The flakes must be specifically made for betta fish! Try feeding your fish a few flakes to see if they like them or not. This sort of food is often supplemented with other betta fish food to ensure proper nutrition for your pet.
Dried Food
Betta fish often enjoy dried food. One such type are blood worms, which betta fish eat in the wild. This sort of food can be used as more of a snack or a treat, since betta fish love this food very much!
