I have those tiny brown food for the bettas but I don't know how much I have to feed it a day so I think Im over feeding it...
It like a really really tiny brown round thingy but how many should i feed it a day?
Adult betta fish should be fed once a day and babies should be fed twice a day. It is extremely important not to overfeed the fish. Keep an eye on them as they eat and remove any food that is uneaten when they are done.
Generally, a betta fish should take about two to five minutes to fill up, so avoid feeding them more than they can eat in that time.
What to feed your betta fish
Betta fish prefer live food, but feeding them freeze dried food is a more convenient and affordable alternative. There is special betta food available for daily staple feeding, but always supplement with freeze-dried mosquito larvae - called "bloodworms", or brine shrimp.
Live Food
Mosquito larvae are the betta fish's natural food. Red mosquito larvae are called "bloodworms". Live brown worms and bloodworms are enjoyable to betta fish, but are notorious agents of disease and bacteria, as are most live foods. If you decide to feed live worms to your betta, be sure to wash worms thoroughly. Never feed your betta fish worms from the garden or caught in the wild as they may have been subjected to pesticides.
Brine shrimp are also a favorite food of betta fish, and make a good occasional treat for the fish to be fed in moderation. You can feed them freeze dried brine shrimp or hatch them yourself from eggs.
Frozen food
Frozen food is a safer alternative to live food, although still not as easy as freeze-dried.
Tips on food and feeding
The betta fish, as most fish, can go a couple days without eating, so don't worry about leaving for the weekend. But if you leave for a longer period of time, be sure to have someone feed the fish (or use a time-release food block, or automatic feeder) and clean their water (if smaller than 5 gallons it will need cleaning at least once a week).
It is good practice to skip a day of feeding once a week, as it gives the betta fish's digestive system time to recover and clean itself out.
IMPORTANT: While betta fish will stop eating dried or frozen food once full, they will continue eating as long as there is live food in their aquarium. Thus it is extremely important not to overfeed them with live food, as they will literally eat themselves to death.
If your betta fish develops a paunch, or an overpronounced belly, you may be overfeeding it. Conversely, if he appears gaunt or thin, he may have an infection or need more food.
my betta gets fed about 8 pellets a day (he needs more because he is really skinny), but usually 4 a day is enough. mine is fed 6 days a week twice a day. once in the morning and once in the afteroon
I have one named Gully iv been feeding him 4-5 balls ones in the morning once at night and was told to do so from the pet store also it's good ti feed them this kind of food the makes there colors not fade
