How much should I feed a day?

[Jen24]

I went to PetSmart and was surprised that they didn't have Hikari Betta Bio Gold so I got TetraMin Tropical Granules The Rich Mix for bettas. How much should I feed my 1 male betta? Thanks in advance!

the normal rule with fish is as much as they can eat in five mins which i think is risky where bettas are concerned i would just give a little pinch in the morning and a little at night,

What does the container say? I'm not familiar with that particular food. I give each of my bettas 2-3 pellets of HIkari BioGold twice daily, a time or two a week they skip a meal and I also rotate in a night when they get brine shrimp, bloodworms, or peas. Variety will help them to stay healthier, avoid constipation, and have better color (or so I've read).

Jen24: I used to feed my bettas that brand. I fed them twice a day about four pieces each, and not more than five in one feeding.
