Feeding Betta

[gowing238]

What is the best food to feed my betta on? I have only fed him flakes since ive had him (2months). He hasnt grown much

all in moderation: blood worms, tubifex, brine shrimp, mosquito larvae........ and peas.....

A varied diet is good for fishy health! Flakes or betta are okay as a staple food, but you should also supplement the diet with foods like blood worms, brine shrimp, etc. Also, I've heard many people recommend feeding a skinned pea once a week to aid in digestive health. Providing a "fast day" once a week helps to keep the digestive tract clear.

IMO feed blood worm very sparingly, there seems to be alot of connections between its overuse and dropsy.....

I agree Germ.
My boys only get bloodworm once every 7-10 days followed by a "fasting" day.
