Am I feeding my betta fish correctly2007-11-24 23:09:32

I've had it for like two months, so I know it can't be bad. I'm feeding it TetraMin tropical granules. Then, somebody else who has a betta fish said that they feed it some type of worms or brine shrimp or something? So I looked that up and there are plenty of these freezed things because I guess betta fish are carnivores. Now I don't want to go changing my fishy's diet too much because I heard that they need consistency, but would it be healthier to add some meat to the diet? He's been fine so far, but I want to give him the best.

Answers:

bettas actually like variety, if what your feeding him works you certainly can feed him that, but it would be fine if you wanted to get some freeze dried blood worms or something and alternate between them.

I've had TONS of beta fishes. We only ever fed him the little fish pellet things. We never bothered with the worms or brine shrimps, or anything else, and they lived long, healthy lives.

Just feeding him TetraMin is fine, some people do feed beta fish meat, but you don't have to. Don't change your fishes diet too much or it could kill them, and you don't want to do that! I had a beta and fed it TetraMin and it lived for years!

When I bought my beta fish, I asked what I should feed him. There were two choices, and I purchased the better of the two. They are tiny pellets and he is doing just fine. The product is "wardley ESSENTIALS BETTA PREMIUM FOOD"

I would feed my betta on brine shrimp twice a day. I had the siamese fighting fish version, lol.
