How To Feed?

[Bigpig]

How do you feed bettas with frozen food? Like bloodworms ect?

Drop it in or is there holders you get?

thaw it out it out in a baby food jar, use a fork or something to drop in a few bw at a time. dont leave the food out long unfrozen or it will get gross very quick.

Put a worm on the end of the chopstick.

I usually let mine "chase" the end of the chopstick for a while then release the worm. Gives them a bit of exersise and doesn't make it too easy for them to get it.

My new boy actively "hunts" the chop stick too. He'll chase it, then hide under a leaf and jump on it when it gets close. Very entertaining.

I usually use a pair of plastic tweezers and offer them one at a time. That way I know exactly how much they are eating and means that none goes bad in the tank. All ours are used to me feeding them that way and some will snatch the worm off the end befoe I get a chance to let go lol

if I know I will have extra I chop off what I need while its still frosty and put the rest right back in the freezer.

also all my betta tanks are bare...so if food goes uneaten I can suck it rght out. my tank upstairs with the other beastys has corys and a tiny plec in it to eat up any extra yummys.

i cut however much i need with a spare utility knife, defrost it and toss it in. i'm feeding fry though so they'll pretty much consume everything on the bare bottomed tank
