Food for Bettas

[JMeenen]

I have recently found out that my bettas like carrots (cooked of course),broccoli ..just 1 tiny piece of the floret as well as pea..they really go for carrot....

ya bettas tend to like their veggies. devours peas, but ive never tried carrot though

I read alot about it before attempting the food variations..it seems that carrot is a great color enhancer due to the fact that they contain carotine

Ooh. Must buy orange betta!

My mom had a roommate in college who only ate carrots. ONLY. She turned orangeish- her finger nails and whites of her eyes and stuff. Eeew. But it does make sense that it would be a good color enhancer for a fish. Obviously bettas need meat in their diet.

Hmm, perhaps prawn for the meat portion. That would be one very orange fish.
