My fish pretends he’s starving all the time. He’s lying.

I rescued a female long tail Betta and she is always moving around her beautiful 10 gallon aquarium! She even has two mystery snails as buddies in there! And they are happy together!

I feed my Betta
Tuesday to Saturday - 4 pellets in the morning... Then 2-3 at night( Hikari Betta Bio Gold)
Monday - Special food (Blood Worms, flakes, etc etc)
Sunday - Fasting

Tip -
Small portions help and prevents digestive problems

I had no idea about how to tell whether ur fish is under weight or overweight! Thanks for that tip! I heard great things about Bug bites for Bettas.

Betta's are insectivores - you really should be feeding them mosquito larvae and adult artemia. Your fish will live longer and have betta (pun intended) health.

Best feeding video I’ve seen for betta. Really appreciate the anatomy references!

[jdoraz]

I really like your method of a slow build up vs full gut loading them... seems more humane and pet friendly. Great info 👍

I had just gotten a new Betta and it was quite small and I noticed that when I gave it a couple of pellets it tried to eat it but the pellet was overall way to big for its mouth. I ended up having to crush up the pellets and feed them to him like that for a couple weeks and now he has no trouble eating the pellets whole!

So I got my daughter a fish. Little did I know I was actually adopting a tiny little fellow. Thanks.

I got my betta yesterday. He’s a red koi plakat male. The food I got is these little pellets but they look like bloodworms. Russell seemed to enjoy his morning feed, I gave him 3 but they’re so tiny. He’s really healthy and active, but he’s already chosen his favourite corner in the tank. He slept wedged between the filter, moss and this plant with big leaves last night. Damn I’m so in love with this little fish and I just want to do right by him. He’s really small, like just a bit bigger than my thumb nail. He’s in a 20L (5 gal) planted tank that is currently between 25 and 26 °C the tank looks ginormous with him in it. I thought it was going to be too small. I think I’m doing everything correctly but if anyone has any suggestions, I’m all ears.

Edit: the name of Russell’s current food is vibra bites baby. It was produced in Japan. The guy in the aquarium store said he feeds his betta these. It wasn’t a pet store like petco or petbarn, all the fish looked healthy and this guy owned the place and seemed to really know what he was saying.

Woah, 5-8 pellets per day! My bettas would probably kill me if I do that. They always eat voraciously, many times to the point of jumping to catch the food 😆. Anyway, I've just watched your vid on SBD and it is very resourceful. Thank you! A new subscriber here.

Wow the pet store told me to feed my fish the size of their eye. I thought that sounded odd, especially as active as my fish is, but I trusted her. After watching your video I was able to know that my fish is underweight. I can easily see its swim bladder. 🥺 Thanks for taking time to teach us.

[dieyoung]

I tried to not feed my betta today because I thought I saw early signs of stomach bloat...so I'm observing the fish and the fish is like dude whats up...where's my food...stomach problem didn't look that serious so I gave in...that swim bladder info was spot on....great job!

[ShellySeason]

I just got a Betta and found your channel and have to say it's the best and so helpful. I already purchased things from some of your videos. They're awesome! Thanks for making these!

Got my King Crowntail yesterday, this helped so much, thank you!

[constantine]

I go for 10 pellets from OCEAN NUTRITION once a day, flakes up until I see his stomach full and up to 3 bloodworms two or three times a week. I do a rotation, feeding him different food every day and I do fasting every Sunday.
I read an article saying that the recommended pellets are like 4 per day, which seems kind of low. I feed mine like that for 1, 5 years now and he seems fine.
