[Anonymous Fox]

The linked mix sounds okay for treats a couple times a week, but bloodworms are pretty fatty and not good for a staple diet. I only feed blood worms once a week to any of my fish. I really like bug bites micro pellets, they are very easy to digest.
It is also good to offer a variety of food, so I also have a spirulina flake and color flake from bugbites. I feed freeze dried daphnia, rehydrate freeze dried tubifex, frozen foods like gut loaded brineshrim, and blanched peas once a week. I also fast all of my fish once a week.
Not everyone has that much of a variety, but maybe a veggie based flake and a micropellet food in addition to your blood worm mix would be good.

My betta loved bug bites and brine shrimp... Also mosquito larvae when I could get hold of it. They wouldn't eat veggies or flake but you can try them

I agree. I feed my Betta Omega One Betta Buffet Pellets and Fluval Bug Bites. They are very healthy!

Hello
If pellets you should choose 50% protein food with no flours.
Ocean Nutrition Betta Food Pro (pellets) is a good alternative to Fluval and OmegaOne.
But preferably live food as said above.

I am just curious, what else exactly will be in the community tank? I know you have mentioned bloodfin tetras in other threads, and just thought you should know that certain kinds of tetras can be veryyyy nippy, especially with beautiful fins like a betta's!

You're right but females have shorter fins.
That said, females Betta will set a (strict) hierarchy amongst each other.
Remember Betta does prefer soft and acidic water.

You're right but females have shorter fins.

I would figure it could still be a problem, because their fins are still longer than, say, other tetras. I had one of my purple dragon guppies get caught up in a piece of decor when I was moving plants to my bigger tank, and the tetras ripped him to pieces. Guppies don't really have long fins like bettas even.

Poecilia reticulata has long fins especially fan/delta/veil/halfmoon tails.

Depending on the betta, I would consider a female bettas fins “fluttery” enough to be a bit more cautious with tetras. Not saying it can’t work, I just mention it as a possible concern
