feeding...all at once or splitting it up?

[lordsatan]

I've been feeding my Betta 4 Aqueon pellets per day shortly after I turn the light on...and an extra dried blood worm every 2nd or 3rd day...with a fast one day a week.

Is it better to feed em 4 pellets at one shot, 2 pellets 2 times 8-10 hrs apart or 1 pellet 4 times 2-3 hrs apart?

for humans it's best to have more small meals, so digestion is easier...but for fish I don't know.

thanx

Just as with humans, frequent but small meals are better than one big meal. :)

thanx much...I think I'll start em on a 2 + 2 diet at their day's beginning and end...or shouldn't I feed em right before I turn off the lights.

same as humans again? don't sleep on a meal...

I tend to feed mine "dinner" 1-2 hours before lights out.
