Hikari Cichlid food to betta?

[RX93]

i just bought a male crwon tail betta from petmart yesterday. i tried feeding it flakes but it only likes to chase after it and not eat it. so i had some Hikari Cichlid Gold Food, crushed it into smaller pieces and my betta seems to like it. can i just keep feeding it with Cichlid food or should i buy the hikari betta food for him?

my betta actually doesn't eat the betta pellets I bought him. Now he eats flakes and freeze dried bloodworms and he seems fine.

Feeding him cichlid pellets should be fine.
Remember, though, fish do best on a variety of foods, not just one food.
