Pellets vs Flakes

[Phoxly]

What is everyone's opinion on each? Pellets? Flakes? I have Hikari Betta pellets, tetra flakes, betta buffet flakes, granules, and frozen shrimp. I have tried them all, and honestly he seems to enjoy the flakes the most. He tears them up like Jaws with a baby seal in his mouth, his WHOLE body starts jerking and he just noms it up like a little pig. But with the little pellets he is just like "meh".

I like Ocean Nutrition Atisons Betta Food.

I feed mine both on alternating days to provide some variety.

I would reccomend the Hikari pellets. Both of my Bettas gobble them up- They love them!

My guys looove hikari pellets, but at the moment I'm all out and can't go up to get some for a while, so I've been feeding them some Vitapet "Betta Food" that I always have spare - its crap and makes them bloat like crazy :C

The pet shop Roy was from would feed him flakes, he didnt really eat them though, as soon as I gave him pellets he was all OH FINALLY, REAL FOOD NOMNOM

Riddle likes Flakes and Pelets. He USE to like the freeze dried blood worms, but now he just spits them out!

I feed pellets Monday - Friday, shrimp flakes on Saturday and fast on Sunday.

I have never had a problem with a betta accepting flakes - or pellets or any other kind of food. They are, IMO/E, such PIGS - LOL!!!!

I don't think it really matters what form the food is in as long as it is HIGH quality!

Mine pig out on the sinking shrimp pellets intended for the corys. I have pellets they enjoy too.

I think I'll keep feeding the hikari pellets, but try to swap/ substitute some other flakes or worms one or two days a week.
