Novice question. Don't judge me ?

No, I fed my Betta this way during 7 years, once a day.

I’m surprised your Betta didn’t have any constipation in those 7 years...

Different fish have different feeding requirements.

For example: I feed my clownfish 2x a day, because they have a much higher energy level. Bettas on the other hand, are very sluggish and barely move all day.

Never constiped as I fed him with live food 5 days/week and castor oil coated pellets 2 days/week. He never suffered worms thanks to garlic.

Garlic does not deter internal worms...

Mmmm i dunno...
"Allicin is the chemical in garlic that does have the power to actively and directly kill parasites. It has been shown in scientific studies to actively kill parasites including freshwater ich, marine white spot (also known as marine ich), and others"

Seriously TOO small !!
What loaches ?

Garlic is effective in prevention once fish is "soaked" in garlic.
Very often added to Discus food.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around fish having worms??? All I've got is one male Betta named Toshi. And he's in a 5 gal tank.

? ?

Sorry, you said

fish is "soaked" in garlic.

I assume you meant the fish food is to be soaked and not the fish themselves...?

That's a lot of fish for 1 10gal tank.

Yeh, it is. Is there any room left for water? ?

How can there be 5 young Bettas and 3 adult Bettas along with Noah's Arc of fish species, in one 10 gal tank? I thought the Bettas alone would kill each other if in the same tank?? They are territorial and aggressive.
