What do betta fish eat?

Betta fish are carnivores and enjoy a diet of insects, small crustaceans, brine shrimp, and other aquatic creatures. Several types of ready-made betta fish food are available, so you can choose from pellets, flakes, freeze-dried foods, food blocks, and live food.

How often should I feed my betta fish?

Betta fish are usually fed twice a day, in the morning and at night. Follow the instructions on the betta fish food label, and consult a fish-savvy veterinarian, fish club, or hobbyist if you have questions.

How much food should I feed my betta fish each day?

You can feed your betta fish 2–3 small specialty pellets twice a day. If you are feeding with flakes versus pellets, starting out with a pinch of flakes is advisable. Some betta fish food products advise to feed only as much as the fish can eat in two or three minutes.

Are brine shrimp or blood worms better for bettas?

Brine shrimp are considered an excellent source of protein for betta fish. Blood worms have a higher fat content and should be fed as more of a treat and less frequently.

Are fish flakes or pellets better for betta fish?

Pellets are generally considered a better feeding option for betta fish for a variety of reasons. First, pellets have a higher nutritional and protein content. Second, they are easier to portion, so you don't overfeed. Consult your vet about any questions you have regarding what to feed your betta fish.
