Skyler Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 What would be the healthiest food I could get for my betta fish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PonyPlantedTanks Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 The best thing you can do for your betta is variety. You can for sure have your staple pellets/flakes but try to have a couple foods on hand to mix it up! I like Xtreme Betta Pellets. My betta likes them a lot and they’re small enough for pretty much any size betta. I’ll also rotate through Hikari Vibra Bites and Hikari Freeze Dried bloodworms (sparingly, not to be fed every day). I’ve also heard that Fluval Bug Bites can be a hit with bettas, and they’re a great protein source. If you’re feeling adventurous you could try feeding frozen bloodworms or brine shrimp once a week or so too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLFishChik Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 I agree with @EricksonAquatics - variety is the best. I've fed my Bettas a staple nano Pellet like Xtreme, they also get Bug bites. Once a week they get Frozen Bloodworms, Frozen Mysis Shrimp and Frozen Brine Shrimp. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flakes can make a betta bloat. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PonyPlantedTanks Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 I’ve never actually tried betta flakes anyways. They’re just kind of a mess and less convenient honestly😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
