How Often to Feed a Betta Fish

I would recommend that you Feed your Betta fish once a day. Sometimes twice a day is ok, but I usually don’t feed them more that once a day.
On the label of fish foods they will tell you to feed fish 3 times a day. You can do that but make the feedings smaller than usual.
Overfeeding is a very common mistake which could cause 2 very common problems for your betta fish including:
Digestive problems causing your betta fish to get bloated and become suseptable to disease Cause cloudy water in your fish tank from the ammonia created from the extra fish poop which could lead to stressing out or killing your betta fish.
On how much to feed your fish, the rule of thumb is to feed as much it will eat in about a minute or two.
Remember, you need to remove any food that the fish does not eat in a few minutes, so an idea would be for you to feed one or two pellets at a time for 2 minutes so there will be no uneaten food to clean up.
CAUTION - Betta Fish will sometimes try and gorge on their food and have digestive troubles as a result - kinda like humans ;). Don’t overfeed them. You can tell they are full by the belly bulge.
Overfeeding is usually more of a problem in home aquariums than underfeeding.
Bettas can be finicky, so don’t be alarmed if your fish doesn’t eat the food on a particular day, especially when you first get them. It might take up to a week before they give in and eat.
Don’t worry, and he won’t starve in that period. Just remove any food particles uneaten after a couple of minutes, and then try again the next day.
It is best to try feed your fish at the same time every day. This gives them into a routine. After a while, you will swear they’re wearing a wristwatch because they will start wagging their tail and coming to the surface at the appointed feeding time.
If you feed your high-quality fish food and occasionally give him or her a special treat, this will no doubt improve the quality of your fishes’ life and keep them healthy and happy.

Looks like I’ve been under feeding 😢. The store owner said 3 pallets every 2 days. I wondered why the bottle said otherwise but this video confirms all I needed to know. Thank you ❤
@carsonhunt4642
@carsonhunt4642 Год назад
The store workers get confused because they are set to feed them on a slow schedule which makes the bettas live longer. My pet store said 2 pellets only every other day! That’s 6 pellets a week.. Now I just do 2 in morning and 2 at night. Seems a healthy weight.

What sizs tank is that? A 10 gallon? I have my betta in a 10 gallon and have added 2 tetras and 2 african dwarf frogs. Store clerk wouldn't let me get more than 2 tetras. They are so tiny. And I didn't tell her about the betta either because my pet store forbids betta with other fish. They are so uneducated. I have done tons of research on best betta companions and thought I could get at least 4-5 mini tetras on a 10 gallon with the betta. I'm disappointed. The tank just looks empty. The frogs just hide out. Them tetras are so tiny. I wanted more for my little boy who loooves fishies.

I moved the light and hid it behind a big basket-out of my bettas sight and I get so worried that he will hurt himself in the dark 😂😂 My tabs on safari are all questioms about my betta fish lol

I have a sorority of 6 female beta in my 15 gallon freshwater tank with 5 “filler” fish and one gold Inca snail. Betta LOVE live sword plants 🌱 because they act as hiding/resting spots. Female Betta get along well with other female Betta and other fish except for aggressive breeds like Tiger Barbs. Platy fish and female Betta get along great. I feed my fish once a day. If you feed them 2x a day do 1-2 pinches of pellets and then later a frozen cube of bloodworm or brine shrimp for the 2nd meal. Do 15-20% water changes once a week (2-5 gallons) if you feed them twice a day or you’ll risk an explosion of pest snail eggs which are white. You’ll have to smoosh those with the back of a spoon off your tank glass and do a large water change. When you buy live plants, soak them in 2 gallons of water and use Alum from the grocery store (it’s a spice). 1-2 teaspoons of that and soak the plants up to 10 hours to kills snail eggs and insects and anything else. Then rinse off the plants in another bucket and place inside your freshwater aquarium. That’s worked wonders for me.

norma grullon When I buy my bloodworms, I usually buy them freeze dried, and the ones I buy are pretty small. Bloodworms are very nutritious for your betta, though I wouldn't feed them too many at a time because in my opinion they're more of a snack food for bettas. I hope this helped you! ps. My betta is still alive :D

Hi Rose, I would start off with no feeding on day one so he can get used to his new environment. Then I would feed him one pellet at a time until he slows down or as much as he eats in 1 minute. This would be the MAX to feed daily or every other day. I would feed half of that amount daily. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Hi Josh, as long as he doesn't sit at the bottom looking like he ate too much after you feed him, he should be fine. He should have a slight little bulge but not too much. He should still be active and moving after you feed. Hope this helps. Look at my Betta fish playlist. Basically to make them happy keep good water quality, feed a variety of foods and plenty of room to swim. But of course there is more to it but that is the basics.

Brody W Hi Brody! I feed until their bellies pudge out a little. Depending on the size of the pellets, usually about 30 seconds or so. They are little pigs. Check out my video on ‘what do Betta fish eat’ to see it. The big take away is to not over feed them.

Well, for newborns I would feed at least twice a day. Perhaps more. For adult fish you can get away with every other day.

@TropicalFishGuy
@TropicalFishGuy 5 лет назад
Once or twice a day. Maybe a few flakes each meal. As much as he can eat in about 20-30 seconds or so. Just make sure his belly doesn’t get too big. They can gorge themselves.

Okay so I am feeding my beta 6 pellets a day and then he doesn’t eat weekends he it’s it all and I am so confused people tell me to watch out cuz 6 is so much but if I only put like 3/4 he starts swimming to the top and nibbling on water it’s my first fish I’ve had him for about a month and half
@TropicalFishGuy
@TropicalFishGuy 4 года назад
If it works for you then I wouldn't change anything. If after you feed him and there is left over food or he is lethargic after eating you might want to cut back. Otherwise keep doing what you're doing.

I feed my betta fish which i have 3 at the moment live and frozen twice a day. which can be a bit fuzzy on frozen..but I feed them bloodworm, brine shrimp, mysis shrimp, diaphine ,black worms, tubifex, mosquito larva. do not feed pellets there to many filers in them for me which can make your betta bloated

I fed my betta fish more than 10 pellets this morning 😭 and in the afternoon I noticed that he's fat! Watched many videos about bettas and saw pictures of bettas that has some bladder issues (i forgot what it's called) But my betta doesn't look fat on one side, he just looks fat/bloated. Is it okay if I don't feed him for 2 or 3 days? Any suggestions on what I can do to get him back in a better shape?

@TropicalFishGuy
@TropicalFishGuy 4 года назад
It all depends on the fish and the size of the pellets. If they are eating 3 huge pellets and the belly bulges then you may want to keep every other day but if they are not overfed then I would feed daily. Don't feel guilty. We are all on the same journey. Thanks for watching and commenting!

That doesn't sound enough to me but i don't know the size of the pellets or the fish. Send a pic of the food and the fish to pics@tropicalfishguy.com and let me take a look. But really you just need to see the betta's belly and when there is a slight bulge, then stop.

Usually as much as he can eat in about 30 seconds or so. Just enough to get enough but doesn't get gorged. Check his stomach to make sure it's not bulging out alot.

No no no that’s over feeding that’s how my first beta died. I recommend you using flakes or blood worms because the beta stomach is they size of there eyeball. Feed it 1 pellet a day so the time you started feeding it feed it again the same time the next day and skip one day too let there food digest.

Well, It depends on how big the betta is and how big the pellets are. If they are the small micro pellets and he is a big betta then that's ok. The way to tell is if he is still wanting more food after you feed him and he is active and swimming around then it's ok. If he sinks to the bottom and doesn't move for a while then too much.
