hey guys so i just got beautiful betta fish and im new to this site! called him toothless from how to train your dragon hahaha :D so i was wondering how much i should feed him? I feed him pellets and i have been feeding him 2 in the morning and 2 at night. his tank is about a gallon so when should i clean and wat percentage of the water do i change. thanks so much everyone!

In a 1gal unfiltered tank.....twice weekly water changes...1-50% and 1-100% should maintain water quality....provided that you don't overfed and uneaten food is removed within a reasonable time...

Nutrition-good quality varied diet fed in small frequent meals.....

Look forward to pic......

Yup! Your feeding habits sound good, get frozen bloodworms, he'll thank you!
Bettas do have teeth, just a fun fact, get him to bite you.
Like OFL said, one 50% and one 100% weekly. Is his tank heated?

Bloodworms are fine, they'll love em! Feed a few, they're all protein and can make em constipated...>.< anyways, in a 1g tank do a 50% and 100% WC weekly, or maybe a 25 and 100, because of the filter...

2-3 frozen blood worms are good for a treat
