I have read soooo many posts about feeding our Betta-Buddies, I am getting confused. :--?
I currently feed my guy TetraMin Plus (the one with shrimp) .... was a sample. He really loves this, but feeding him 'flakes' seems to make a mess in his tank.
I want to try pellets, but don't know what brand has the correct-good ingredients for him.
"Sparkle" loves to eat :lol: .... I feed him in the morning and in the evening. I put some flakes (why do they make them soooo big) in my hand and crush them up a little bit. Then I drop some into his tank and watch until he eats them...then drop some more and watch him....and on and on....until he either swims off to another area or starts spitting them out....he must be full at that point.
I have been turning off the filter while I feed him to keep flakes from moving away from him and ending up in the substrate or on his silk plants. This seems to work well.
Sorry...I am rambling....back to the betta pellets.......
I am not sure how the pellet portions compare to flake food. I figure if he 'chomps-down' the whole pellet(s) as I drop them in, his tank will stay cleaner....Is this correct? I don't think he lets the flakes fall to the bottom to save as a snack when I am not looking :lol:
Any suggestions/reviews/etc. is appreciated since my flake-sample is almost empty.
