What should I do with my greedy beta?

Question

Well, in my tank I have a 2 inch beta, a 1/2 inch blue mystery snail, and recently bought 1/2 african dwarf frogs (I got two of them). The plants are beautiful, the caves are excellent hiding places, the rocks are splendid, BUTTTTTTT...there comes a problem with the food. After I feed my fish three of its recommened beta pellets, then my snail its algae wafers, it comes time for the frog feeding. I place the freeze-dried bloodworms in the back of the tank (where the frogs are located), and while they float to the bottom, the fish eats them as well. What should i do about food, so that everyone gets to eat?

Answer 1

I have a betta in my 20 gallon community tank, and for a while, I had a problem feeding my other fish--the betta would gorge himself and blow up like a balloon, which isn't healthy for him.  My solution was to put him in a small breeding trap (the kind used to isolate fry from the main tank) while the other fish ate.  When the other fish are done eating and there are no scraps left over, I let the betta out. :)

Answer 2

the beta fish is a aggressive fish and they are meant to keep separated from other fish. if  u  go to pets mart u can get a beta fish tank for about 5 to 6$ but there is no other solutions.  

Answer 3

I would try distracting your betta with the pellets and dropping the blood worms on the other side of the tank. But you could also just give your betta blood worms too. I know from experience that they prefer blood worms to pellets, so you could just drop a bunch into your tank in different places. (not too much!) There will be no way the betta can eat them all and any waste the frogs don't eat will be cleaned up by the snail (snails love blood worms too), so you won't have the problem of decomposing food in your tank.
