I give mine 1 or 2 pellets a day, and frozen brine shrimp every day, except 1 or 2 (diet day!) And then around 5 or 6 live brine shrip weekly. Once a week, I will give them some veggie flakes, and only once, I have given them cucumber, which they ate, but didn't enjoy...

That is a lot of food mine usually get about 5 in the morning, and 4 at night, even then i still think its a lot.

 

[Fish Sticks]

Wow! I've only been feeding 2 pellets 2-3 times a day. And occasionally 3-4 blood worms.

 

[Samphire]

Mine have 3/4 in the morning and about 2-3 of a night time.

 

[arvlyn]

Mine gets 4 - 5 Hikari Betta Bio-Gold pellets twice a day.

 

[zoekin8yg]

I only feed mine every other day about 10 pellets a time

 

[MermaidMel]

I feed mine 3 pellets, 3 times a day unless 1 escapes and sometimes 4 go in!
So when I get up, then again at 3pm then again before I go to bed
And once a week, frozen bloodworm or daphnia or brine shrimp but no pellets that day and a day of starvation too

 

[Booboo puppy]

I feed mine 5 or 6 Hikari pellets once per day.

so i'm not over feeding?

 

[afishdude]

its close but i would say your right on the border of over feeding and perfect.
i would say your fine though

if any of your fish start to be bloated cut down to 7 or 8 per day.

if you feel like your starving them, remember that they can go 1.5- 2 weeks without food before they get harmed.
