How many pellets and when?

[Fishyfish123]

I am sure this topic is somewhere on this site, but I cannot seem to find a specific answer that relates to the pellets I have. I purchased two male betta fish a couple days ago and now have them in a divided aquarium. The food I bought for them is called Aqueon Betta Food. The pellets are very VERY small, like the top of a pin. I know I must feed them more than once a day, but could someone please tell me how many pellets? How many times a day and if I should skip a day? Thank you. :)

Only 2 small pellet per meal x 3 a day so only 6 total? I feed my 10 per meal 2x a day. I need to cut back.

I have those same pellets and I feed 2-3 pellets 2x a day. Usually I do 2 one meal and 3 the other. 2 pellets 3x a day would work, too. Keep in mind their stomach is about the size of their eyeball. So, very small.

I need to cut back and save. I saw my fishes eat at least 5 pellet per meal. I have an giant that eat about 20 pellet per meal.

I only feed 2 pellets in the morning and thats all for the day. Bettas can go up to 3 weeks without food. Make sure you dont overfeed as that can lead to bloating and internal digestion problems.

I feed 2 pellets a day, one in the morning, and on at night. In the afternoon, I give a flake, OR, I replace any of those pellets I give him with 2 flakes.

I only give him bloodworms whenever I train him now.

I keep a VERY close eye to make sure he isn't bloated. If I notice any swelling of the tummy, I fast him for a day. But I haven't had a bloated issue in a very long time.

I think it just matters wha kind of pellets it is and also how much your betta can stomach xD

Just for my knowledge in case it may happen to my betta :)
