Fish: GIVE ME FOOD OR I WILL DIE ON THE SPOT

[AngelaR]

I've been keeping fish for nearly 50 years and I have to say this is probably the best video I've seen on feeding bettas.

It’s so wholesome to watch a fish eat something

Does anyone else have a huge connection with their fish? Like my fish only doesn’t flair it’s gills at me and will follow me in his tank, if I open my mouth he will open his mouth, he will follow my finger and if my mom or brother feed him he won’t eat it, if I feed him he will eat. And he understands me. I let him pick out his plants, color toys, and stuff like that. I even tested by moving the object he pointed at to a different location and he still points at the same item. I even take him out on walks in a small container. But only every once in a while so he doesn’t get super stressed. Sometimes when he gets stressed he goes against the glass towards my body because he trusts that I will protect him.

I'm getting a Betta soon, just waiting for tank to cycle, ans the food I got is this Tetra 3 in 1 betta food. Has colour flakes, pellets and brine shrimp. Imo, it was a really good choice, it was cheap and has variety. Someone on a tight budget could still treat their betta with store-bought food. Of course, you can prepare your own food, but I think its best to do both.

Thanks for highlighting the importance of not letting food expire!

Most underrated fish youtuber. You should consider advertising your channel and get that visibility up. I would love to see this channel blowing up and get some of that good YT money for your family XD.

I usually use your videos to double-check facts or ideas that I read online because you have never led me wrong! Thank you for making quality and factual content!

When I see my betta he expects me to feed him EVERYTIME!! I’ve had him for over a 9 months and I spoil him so much it’s almost his birthday!! He is turning 1 💕

I love you can sometimes hear the smile through your voice I love it your channel is so underrated

My fish doesn't eat betta pellets, so I went for a different choice. Instead of prepared foods or pellets, I made my own food. I recommend brine shrimp. Sure she said no microscopic animals but 1.) It's healthy for all fish 2.) My fish never leaves any shrimp uneaten 3.) Hatching is hard but feeding is no mess 4.) My fish goes crazy for brine shrimp and 5.) They don't sink.

Thank you for giving such clear & honest advice! This video has been really helpful to me. Right now I just give my betta dry food, but on your advice I tried to go with a variety: flakes, bug bites, and freeze-dried blood worms. I think I need to feed them a little less, though... 🤣

[shesellsfish]

I think fish, like people, need variety in their diets. Thanks for another informative video.
👍💕👍

I personally feed 7 hikari pellets 5 days a week, a pinch of tetra Betta flakes 1 day a week, and 5 small pieces of brine shrimp 1 day a week.

I like your voice... The way you carry out the video is amazing

[rthecrook]

I was worried about my betta not eating until I realized he was eating the herbivorous snail wafers I kept putting in my tank... and yet he won't eat the freeze dried blood worms. I'll have to try finding the bloodworm sheets because the cubes were messy and way too huge! Thanks for the great content, my betta is happier for it!

[Not_emersnn]

I love the tank you gave your beta fish to live in. They look happy and healthy

[zarico]

Yknow, I’ve been so paranoid that I haven’t been giving my betta fish the proper diet, but it looks like we buy the same brands and give around the same amount, so YAY!

I might try giving him more frozen foods though- never enough enrichment right?

[gibsonindistress]

Whoops, had no idea I need to be putting my food in the fridge...

[arvinstarvin]

Variety is key. Couldn’t agree more. I sometimes feed my betta with mosquito larva found in stagnant water in the backyard.

[emmimangos]

I feed my betta 4 pellets daily and give him 2 bloodworms every friday
