Hi all. This I am sure is quite a common question. I feed two pellets twice a day but wanted to ask what everybody else is doing. The range I read about is quite large- anywhere from 2-4 pellets once-twice a day. Do you fast one day a week? Sorry for the multiple questions...
I feed mine 2 pellets in the morning and 2 at night. Monday mornings they get daphnia, wednesday mornings they get bloodworms and friday mornings they get brine shrimp.Sunday is their fast day.
Does tossing them into the water count as rehydrating the freeze dried worms?
I'm also curious about betta diet options. I'm considering changing to freeze dried. Currently i have brine shrimp now on weds and flakes every other day minus sat/sun. Are peas and cucumbers no good?
With my freeze dried brine shrimp I have a tiny cup of water that I let them sit in then I put them in the tank.
From what I've heard, it's not healthy to feed them freeze dried everyday...just as a snack.
I feed my male betta twice a day, 3 pellets each time. I see some people say they fast their bettas - is it necessary to fast for one day? I have never heard of it before, but am new to betta's (have only had mine three weeks so far).
Most of us fast our bettas one day a week to help clean out their digestive tracts. Also, peas aren't good for bettas because bettas are carnivorous. Daphnia is a much more natural alternative for them.
