Default Balanced and Varied Diet

Ah...a pet subject of mine. Speaking as one who hope to see my bettas thrive and not merely survive, a balanced and varied diet is critical. I feed my bettas frozen Hikari bloodworms, frozen Hikari brine shrimp and Momizi All-Tropical pellets and when I can find them, the occasional live mosquitoes and mosquito larvae. My fries are raised on a diet of freshly hatched baby brine shrimp, home-grown microworms and when they are larger, I switch them to the diet of the adults as highlighted above.

Will be training my future spawns to take the highly touted New Life International Spectrum Food (for Small Fishes), currently available for S$12 at Clementi Blk 328 (much to my dismay as I had paid a fortune to get them in from the States, although it is a bigger bottle). The adults do not like this new food.

for me i feed them either live or froson BW and live tubi. once in a while i give them brine shrimps.

whereas for dried food, i wouldn't recommend. I may cause your betta to constipate if u feed them solely pellet.
