Small mouth on a betta?

[Alienbetta1]

My betta that I bought yesterday seems to have a small mouth.He can't eat whole pellets I have to break them in half.He might just be young cause hes a bit smaller the my other bettas Ive had.Im worried is it natural?Will it get bigger over time?
His name is Buddy by the way and my avatar is a pic of him.Can I feed him mosque larva from a outside in a can of water?

I wasn't sure if this should have been at the other sorry if it was.Sorry for all the questions?

To tell you the truth, when I first saw this thread I thought it was about fishing. . .

I though it looked like a fishing thread.=)I love fishing!

Same, caught a few large and small mouth bass yestrday, I fish at crooked lake in MN, so anyways ack to the thread. He might be young and I dont now if there is any sickness with a symtom of small mouth. Im guessing its a natural thing

Well lets stay on the subject.

As I said in my previous post, iIs probebly natural

Odds are that he's probably just young yet. You get get a special kind of pellets for him, called Hikari Micro Pellets, to make things easier. Otherwise, flakes work for smaller-mouthed bettas. A bit more hassle when cleaning the tank, but it does work.

Thanks I think Ill stick to breaking the pellets in half.=)
