Fish Fanatic
Hey yall! After my stocking thread, I'm sure y'all are aware of my currently way overstocked tank which I'm getting prepped for fixin'! One of the inhabitants is my lovely betta, Honey. (Name not so fitting, shes a "wild" colored female betta with some pretty blue and red on her fins, when I got her she was stress colored and light brown, hence Honey)
She does well with her buddies, and doesn't show any serious aggression (Other than her and my one-eyed male cherry barb Tiger flaring at each other, both take space afterwards XD) Her only significant problem is well... shes a food hogger. And I don't just mean that lightly, Algae Wafers? Flakes? Blood worms? Omnivore pellets? Blanched Zucchini? LITERALLY all of them she will eat, and far too much. I sometimes have to spread out food just so that everyone can eat, she will over-gorge herself to the point of being UNABLE to eat any more, and then she'll still grab it, and spit it out afterwards. As dumbly charming as it is, I don't want her to harm herself with her appetite, and I can't really think of a solution other than moving her to a smaller container during feeding for her and the rest of the tank inhabitants, and even then, I can't set up another tank for a bit and she will still pursue food after its completely dark.
Do any of y'all have fat bettas as well? Any tips for lowering feeding/food drive? XD considering getting her a fry box for feeding times, that's how much I need it! Much thanks, -Caroline and Fat Honey
