  1. Betta Fish Care
    I need to find some food for my betta. I have been feeding omega one betta buffet pellets, but they changed the size so they are too big for my betta. I was going to get Northfin betta bits, but I can only find 100g bags. I only have one betta fish so I don't need 100g of food. Update: I found...

    Hi all! A little background— I have a female Betta in a 6 gallon tank in my office at work. She has a heater, numerous live plants, her favorite sleeping cavern, and foot pellets/blood worms she is fed at regular intervals. She is two years old this Feb and is my bff at work. She follows my...

    So stupid me, despite not having the space, went and bought a second betta... this one is a BABY! Well, I think "juvenile" may be more appropriate... ANYHOO, I know they need to eat smaller bits of food, but what I need to know is now OFTEN should he be fed? One site says more often than with...

    I just got a betta for my son. We tried different pellet brands and he likes the flakes of all things. He will bite it, spit it out, follow it to the floor and then eat it. It's like he likes to eat from the floor, is this "normal"?
  5. Breeding Betta Fish
    Hi. I’m wondering what I should feed my betta couple while their mating. I heard your supposed to give them a selection of live food, but I live in Mexico and it’s pretty hard to find some LIVE food. Can I order on Amazon some freeze dried bloodworms and feed them that?
  6. Betta Fish Care
    I have a blind betta. I have to "hand" feed him with tweezers with food that is long enough that he can feel it and grab it. It's a bear to feed him frozen (defrosted of course) mysis shrimp but I read that's probably the best for the situation. When I'm going to be gone for extended periods of...

    Anybody know of a beta food that does not stain the water? With 25-50% water changes out, the water becomes pretty colorless. However, after only 1 feeding, it's tinted slightly yellow. Newf and his pack don't seem to mind it, but I do. Also,, where can I find Seachem anything? Amazon doesn't...
  8. Betta Fish Diseases and Emergencies
    About half an hour ago, I was feeding my betta a paste of black fly larvae crumbles in gelatine. Unfortunately, I inadvertently dropped a large piece of gelatinized food into the tank - about 2 or 3 mm in diameter - and my betta swallowed it whole! After waiting for my betta to spit out the...

    Just adopted my (nameless) mustard gas betta yesterday. I went to feed it this morning, and he only ate one piece of food, meanwhile I fed it 3 pellets. I understand I am supposed to feed it 2-4 pellets, twice daily. The other two pellets he kept spitting out. Are the pellets maybe a bit too...
  10. Breeding Betta Fish
    So this is my first time breeding and the fry have turned 2 weeks old today. I noticed by week 1 they started dying 😢 but it was just 1 or 2 a day so I thought maybe this is natural. I feed them fine egg yolk particles through a syringe but couldn't confirm if they were really eating it and...
  11. Betta Fish Diseases and Emergencies
    I got my betta fish on the 19 of April. He’s in a ten gallon with a heater and filter. I’ve never seen him eat. I’ve tried pelletes, flakes, and freeze Dried blood worms but he hasn’t seemed the least bit interested in food. I’m worried he’s going to starve. I don’t know why he isn’t eating he...
  12. Frozen Brine Shrimp Betta Food...

    I've recently been recommended these San Francisco Bay Frozen Brine Shrimp for my Pink Orchid. I defrost them first in some warm bottled water and she absolutely loves them. The issue is that there are just TOO MUCH SHRIMP in one cube! It was a hassle cleaning out the tank after feeding them...

    Hi all, I recently bought my betta frozen bloodworms and have been thawing them and feeding them to her. She loves freeze-dried bloodworms but it didn't sit well with her digestive tract. I think she doesn't understand that the thawed frozen bloodworms food because it sinks to the bottom. Any...

  15. Betta Fish Care
    Hello all! I am needing some help. I am in college, and with winter break coming I am struggling to figure out what to do with my betta. I would rather not take him home as it would cause him a lot of stress that is unneeded in a short amount of time. I have vacation feeders that will last...
  16. Breeding Betta Fish
    Hey-- I am interested to know how all of you out there feed your male betta while he is tending the eggs, or if you don't feed him at all. Some say if you feed him, he will be used to food and start to eat the eggs, and others say if you don't feed him he will get hungry and start to eat the...

    Hi all, My partner and I have a single betta fish and two small apple snails in a 5 gallon tank. Their names are Gandalf (betta), Brownie (brown apple snail), and Gertrude (yellow apple snail). It's well established with a few moss balls and 4 lucky bamboo stalks. I've recently looked into...

    I want to give my betta some bloodworms (Hikari dried ones) because I thought he'd appreciate some variety. He was severely stressed last week due to me being away and my dad forgetting to feed him for a week. When I came back he was super pale, had severe fin biting, and had shoved himself...

    I've been in the process of switching my goldies over to strictly fresh/frozen/live food and thought; why not my betta tank? I know a lot more about goldfish than I do bettas. So asking those who feed ONLY fresh/frozen/live: What do you feed your carnivorous bettas?
  20. Betta Chat
    Hello, I am planning to start a planted aquarium for a betta. This will be my first betta, but also my first time keeping any kind of aquarium. Next week I am planting and starting the tank, so it will be several weeks before I actually have a fish and put one into the tank. That said, I...
