Best pellet food for a betta who won't eat anything else?

[RachelElizabeth]

I am looking for recommendations on the best betta pellet food. Xtreme? Hikari? Fluval Bug Bites?

I actually have 2 female bettas, one in a 75 gal community tank and the other in a 10 gal with snails. The betta in the community tank eats whatever the community gets (flakes, frozen, etc.) and does well, but the other betta is a very picky eater. She won't eat any of the normal tasty fishy foods like brine shrimp or blood worms. She will only eat betta pellets, and only if I crush them up into very fine pieces. I think this may be due to a bit of a mouth deformity that remained after an infection she had when I first got her months ago. Since there isn't much variety in her diet, I want to make sure she's getting the most nutritious food possible. I also fast her one day a week to hopefully prevent constipation since the food is so dry. 

Thanks in advance!

My betta really like vibra bites

If she likes small pieces, Hikari Micro pellets and  Xtreme nano pellets are excellent. Have you tried frozen daphnia?  My baby female goes nuts for that. My adult male bettas won’t touch daphnia.

I think the "best" is going to be the Xtreme betta food or something like frozen foods to supplement.

My male betta won't eat the 1mm northfin betta pellets, or similar or bigger pellets. He will gobble up .5mm northfin community pellets, bug bites. I actually really like the new life spectrum betta pellets, they are sub .5mm, just tiny morsels.

Hikari betta bio gold and bug bites is are my recommendation

I feed my betta a variety of food.

I've found his favorite have been...

• Hikari Betta Bio Gold
• Fluval Bug Bites
• Hikari Vibra Bites

My last betta also seemed to have those three as his favorites. I also feed the New Life Spectrum betta pellets, and the NorthFin Betta Pellets. 

The newlife spectrum pellets are a little big so i find that my betta always has a little trouble chewing them, but none the less he seems to enjoy them.

When I did have Bettas, I could get them all to eat Ocean Nutrition Betta Pellets

I feed mine Vibra Bites, Bug Bites, Hikari Bloodworms and Hikari Daphina. The daphnia is pretty small and it's often used for constipation and the vibra bites look like little sticks. You can break them up easy to make it smaller.

If your betta has a hard time eating, you can always pre-soak pellet food in water for a little bit before they eat it. That way there's some moisture, lowering the chance of constipation.
