Betta food?

Question

Is there any live food I can feed my betta like insects, smaller fish, worms etc. that I wouldn't have to raise myself?

Answer 1

I don't know if you are suppose to feed them normal worms from the garden but mine love them and are all healthy, i just cut the worms up small and drop the bits in. Also their favourite is wrigglers which is mozzie larvae, i just scoop them up out of any water laying around the house. oh yeah and really small tadpoles they love them.

Answer 2

yes u can get dry worms but i don't think betas eat live bait lol. idk. it depends on ur beta, fish have personalities too. Ive owned like6 betas and i started noticing they all had diff choices of food and swimming patterns and niceness. like i had two male betas in one tank wih u are never suppose to do and they got along good. then i got a red one and it was evil. every time i went to feed it it would put its fins out like it was gonna attack me. it was pretty cool. so ur fish might not like it.

Answer 3

try feeding them ghost shrimp!

Answer 4

you can buy live blood worms at your local fish store.

The best live food is brine shrimp (but those would require raising yourself- however, they are extremely easy to raise)

If you don't want to hassle with live food, bettas can survive fine on just regular and simple beta pellet food

Answer 5

Sure bettas love bloodworms, brine shrimp, daphnia, baby crickets, fruit flys, krill, mysis shrimp, blackworms, tubifex worms, and baby guppies are what I like to give my bettas for treats.
