Does anyone's Betta eat pellets whole?

[teeneythebetta]

None of mine eat them whole, I have to crush them, I don't like letting them soak since it removes nutrients...

Why do they make the pellets so big? I'm not going to buy small ones, the ones I bought were on SALE for $6!!

I have mini betta pellets, so Buddha is able to eat them all whole

I too have the mini pellets . They will only eat one kind of mini too, They are made by Aqueon. At first I got some top fin and then another brand. Did not work.So now I have 2 pks of food they will not eat so I can relate...lol

My Female Bettas eat the small mini Pellets and my Male Bettas eat the large pellets whole. Some of my Bettas only want to eat flakes and frozen foods.

Cleo can eat a whole pellet, minimum chewing.
Demyx can eat a whole pellet, maximum chewing.
Cole can eat four pellets at once, the end.
