Betta feeding

Anyway, a good routine is feeding him 2 times a day, with 2-3 pellets at each feeding
And you can also buy frozen bloodworms and shrimp as a treat for him, which you given him instead of the pellets to change up his diet a bit
But don't overfeed him
Also if you have him in a bowl, please get him at least a 2.5 gallon tank with heater and filter and a live plant because they love to rest on it
Do partial waterchanges of 25% weekly with a gravel siphon
Leave the light on the tank only for 10-12 hours on during the day and turn it off for 12-14 hours at nights
Never overfeed your fish, he also might not be eating on the start because he's getting used to his environment
Keep your temperature between 76-82 degrees
hope that helps
Good luck

I can tell you what i do i feed my male 2 times a day. Morning and evening. I switch between pellets and flakes. And ever other day i give him either bloodworm's or brine shrimp for one of the feeding. And he is doing great. Good Luck
I feed all of my Betta's (except the fry) twice a day. Just a very small amount. It is much better to underfeed than it is to overfeed. Overfeeding can cause many problems in fish. I also fast mine every Sunday to prevent constipation. You can also but the freeze dried bloodworms to feed as a treat every other day. Betta's need a varied diet that is rich in protein. Betta's will do very well in a filtered, heated tank set between 76-82 F, they are tropical fish.
