type of betta food

[squidney101]

I am just curious to what type of food betta owners feed their betta(s). I feed mine betta food(flakes) and freeze dried blood worms.

I feed mine betta pellets.

I tried tubifex with him, but he just ignores it. So it's simply pellets until the tubifex is gone and I find something else.

Mine loves an occasional frozen bloodworm. Otherwise I give him betta pellets.

Mine got spoiled at the petshop before I bought him so he insists on frozen bloodworms. Also convinced him to eat tiny bits of pea in the morning (keeps him regular!)

Hikari Betta BioGold baby pellets and some pellets I obtained from someone named Dean Carstensen in Vermont (he makes them and has growth, complete, and color enhancing varieties). All these pellets, except for the Carstensen growth formula, float for a long time so it is easy to remove uneaten ones. I've tried HBH Betta Bites but they don't float long and nobody seemed really interested in them, ditto that for the Azoo pellets. Sometimes I feed Aquarian pellets and those usually get eaten.

Occaisionally I feed Hikari FD bloodworms but they leave an oily film on the water surface which I have to remove by laying a paper towel on it. I've thought of feeding mosquito larvae in the summer by leaving a bucket of water with a few leaves in it in the back yard but I am leery of diseases.

Betta bites + FD bloodworms for adults
Sera Micropan & Sera Cyclops for fry

I used to feed Hakari bio-gold but my bettas got way to fat, so now its the smaller betta bites, which they eat just fine.

My adult bettas get flakes, pellets, freeze dried bloodworms, feeze dried shrimp, and glassworms. The juvies get live BBS and crushed foods, while the babies get live vinegar eels and live BBS.

Mine has the Hikari Betta BioGold, but also enjoys TetraTabimin sinking pellets. He's not a fussy guy! (he also eats flakes if he must!)

 

[karma_llama]
