Is my beta fish starving?

Question

i feed my beta fish every morning and night and it eats so violently and makes chewing noises.i love my beta fish please help!

Answer 1

No, he's not starving :) You're feeding him the right amount.  Bettas are just greedy little guys, and ferocious eaters.  They most always attack their food to eat it, rather than being delicate about it.

Answer 2

Betta's are pigs and will literally eat until they explode. Don't worry he is not starving he is just being him. They are like goldfish in that sense.

Answer 3

I doubt it.  Most likely you are OVER feeding.  Betta will eat themselves to death if you let them.  A betta need about as much food as his little eye ball a day.  (Assuming you are feeding a high protien betta food if not double it.)  Ideally you should fast him once a week.  Betta can go days without food without harm.

PS- Not that there is anything wrong feeding twice a day if it's a really small amount.

Answer 4

He's not starving.Your doing the correct thing.

Answer 5

no... once a day is enough in fact..

if u give me a lot of food, they will simply eat it allllll... till their stomach gets REALLLLLLYYYYY huge then they will stop.. tt will shorten their lives...
