Sophie Posted July 23, 2021 Author Share Posted July 23, 2021 Do you happen to know any beautiful bigger tetras? And I'd like to feed my Betta a cookie as a snack. Is that alright? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They carry all kinds of tasty things at pet stores, like blood worms and brine shrimp that he'd enjoy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrozenFins Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 My Betta really likes Fluval Bug Bites. You can find that at most pet stores/ fish stores. I wouldn't reccemend feeding him a cookie as a treat. Freeze Dried Blood Worms are another great option to feed to your betta as a treat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't suggest adding Panda Corydora in that tank. As it looks a tad to small for that corydora. It looks like 3 - 5 gallons. I would suggest pygmy corydora or snails. My Betta happily lived with neon tetras, none were eaten. I'm surprised to find that yours did. Edited July 23, 2021 by James Black Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophie Posted July 23, 2021 Author Share Posted July 23, 2021 My neon tetras were juveniles. Very small. I had too buy them online Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 7/23/2021 at 12:59 PM, Sophie said: Any human foods that my Betta can eat? Bettas in the wild eat small bugs, little crustaceans and tiny worms. They really need to have a diet suited for their body, and human food wouldn't be right for them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophie Posted July 23, 2021 Author Share Posted July 23, 2021 Only Chinese stores. I hate to break this to you, but I am in China. The only food I can find are the flakes and my Betta hates the flakes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your betta should take to the flakes eventually. Just keep trying to feed a little bit every day, and scoop out the uneaten stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sophie Posted July 23, 2021 Author Share Posted July 23, 2021 At least on month. And I feed her fish pellets, since she never takes the flakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, at least she's eating the pellets, that's a good start! If that's the only food you can get for her, she will probably do fine. But maybe next time you can get to a store, try asking the people who work there what other betta food you can try. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jungle Fan Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Cardinal tetras get bigger than Neons but they look similar, except there is no white on their bellies the red stripe continues all through the body and they like the higher temperatures. Do the stores in your area carry any of the freeze dried worms for bettas? Or live Tubifex worms? You might have to ask some of the local fish store owners, I'm sure they have to have food other than the flakes for the bettas they sell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
