You can change the type of food as often as you like. If you feed them the same type of food for a long period, this can be detrimental to their immune system and can cause them to eat less. In the wild, betta fish feed on various smaller animals. A betta fish will starve if it doesn’t eat in about 2 weeks therefore, don’t panic if your fish doesn’t eat for a few days because of illness or adjusting to a new home. If you have a betta fish in your office and can’t feed it on weekends, there will be no problem as long as you feed it the other 5 days of the week. Feed it frequently.īetta fish should eat every day or almost every day. I advise using a small net that you would use to collect the feces or transfer the fish to another tank. This creates problems especially if the fish consumes its food after it has been spoiled. Unconsumed food can attract bacteria that are harmful to fish. If you notice that the fish eat very quickly, you can increase the portion to 4 granules again. If you usually use 4 granules per fish, decrease the serving to 3 granules for a time. If your fish does not eat all of its food, decrease the portion you give it. Decrease the portion if they don’t eat all the food. A betta fish can consume this amount 1-2 times a day.
If you give them granules, this portion equals 2-3 granules soaked per meal. This means that they should consume around 3 red worms or brine shrimp per meal. The stomach of a betta fish is about the size of its eyeball, and these should not consume a larger portion of food at once. Give them food that is their eyeball size.
