I know a lot of people like the Hikari Gold, but I feed:
Mon., Wed., Fri. - New Life Spectrum Small Fish Formula. An EXCELLENT food, IMO, that is hormone free & has garlic in it. The pellets in the Small Fish Formula are so small they float for quite a while rather than sinking right away like the larger formulas do (which is what I feed my cichlids).
Tues., Thurs., Sat. - Golden Pearls (500=800 micron). Another excellent food, IMO, with high protein.
Sunday they fast.
I also give them an occasional treat of frozen brine shrimp, but not TOO much.
Fish foods - for ALL fish & not just bettas - are a personal choice thing with half a zillion different opinions.
Hope that helps and doesn't confuse the issue any for you!
