      My betta is not quite so smart. He will only eat what's right in his face. He gets a tiny pinch of New Life Spectrum (small) in the mornings. This was recommended to me by a breeder. They are not his favorite, but they float the best of any I have tried, so are good to feed when I am busy. Plus they are very tiny and he was quite small when I got him and I was having to crush his food.
      At night he gets either Aqueon or Bio-gold (small) fed 1 at a time until he doesn't want anymore. I switch it up, but the Aqueon is definitely his favorite. I don't think it's the best nutritionally, though, so we mix it up. Sometimes he's not interested at all in dinner, so we skip it. He also has a variety of dried food as a treat, though he really only likes the Daphnia. These are good when you have company and they want to feed the fish. He will take them from the tweezers, so that's a fun trick.
      Thanks for demonstrating the frozen blood worms. I didn't realize you could refrigerate the extras for a day or two or I would have bought him some before now.

    Does anyone else have a huge connection with their fish? Like my fish only doesn’t flair it’s gills at me and will follow me in his tank, if I open my mouth he will open his mouth, he will follow my finger and if my mom or brother feed him he won’t eat it, if I feed him he will eat. And he understands me. I let him pick out his plants, color toys, and stuff like that. I even tested by moving the object he pointed at to a different location and he still points at the same item. I even take him out on walks in a small container. But only every once in a while so he doesn’t get super stressed. Sometimes when he gets stressed he goes against the glass towards my body because he trusts that I will protect him.

      I get it. Despite being a newbie, I managed to teach my first one how to do a little mini "agillity" course. She would swim through a hoop, follow my finger onto a submerged platform, and then swim to a spot where she could do a little jump for her treat. I was too busy playing with her to realize it, but my sister has since pointed out that chole apparently would swim out and wag her tail like a dog when I called for her. She had a favorite toy as well: her fluval moss ball. I'm pretty sure it was one of her few constants in life. I had to move her twice in one year... The ball is still here, but I ripped the cloth off and took the weird black stuff out. (I did it because I noticed that it made the bleach cleaning solution....purple? I'm carefully bleaching everything out so as to keep whatever potential illness or parasites that made Chloé sick away from any new little friends.) It's actually kinda nice to know that I'm not the only one who views thier bettas as companions. They are so much smarter and kinder towards humans than most realize...

      Yep, i rescued my betta Lestat from horrible conditions in a petsmart, didn’t know for sure if he’d make it cause he was super pale and not moving. I think he’s pretty grateful to me cause he always got super excited whenever im near the tank and he isnt scared of me at all. He’ll even eat from my hand 😊 He’s in a super pimped out 5 gallon aquarium with a floating log that he loves along with tons of plants. I love him to death and im so grateful to him because he always makes my day a bit better

      I had this relationship with my male and female betta. I taught them some tricks like going through a straw hoop or jumping through one.
      While I wouldn’t do this now that I’m older and knowledge , I had that male and female in the same tank and they loved each other. They Would swim together, the male would bring his lady food. The one time they breed, he built the nest for her.
      When the female died, the male died a few days later. I think of heartache… who knows

I think cleaning every week could sometimes can stress the fish out, that’s what happened to mine. Getting a pletco, molly, etc they will clean your tank, I really recommend getting a allergy eater!

Imo, it was a really good choice, it was cheap and has variety. Someone on a tight budget could still treat their betta with store-bought food. Of course, you can prepare your own food, but I think its best to do both.

Sometimes he might leave a bit behind but he likes to get the big chunks.

    My fish doesn't eat betta pellets, so I went for a different choice. Instead of prepared foods or pellets, I made my own food. I recommend brine shrimp. Sure she said no microscopic animals but 1.) It's healthy for all fish 2.) My fish never leaves any shrimp uneaten 3.) Hatching is hard but feeding is no mess 4.) My fish goes crazy for brine shrimp and 5.) They don't sink.

      Unfortunately, it's part of thier biology. Bettas don't have any sort of instinct to tell them to stop eating. They will literally eat themselves to death if given the chance. They always feel hungry, unless they are very ill.

      I'd definitely give them a week or so to settle down. Out of curiosity, do any of them show disinct horizontal lines? If so, then I would definitely say physical AND emotional stress is involved. Don't panic though, it's quite common with the newbies. They usually settle down and get comfortable after they accumulate to thier tank and set thier personal territory.

    Hi Irene 👋🏼.
    I’ve been loving your videos!
    We just got two betta’s in their own tanks of course. I watched this video shortly after getting them and picked up some bloodworms to add to their diet. I tried 3 separate times with both fish and neither one of them would eat them 😅 It was tetra brand freeze dried bloodworms. It’s all that was on the shell at the time. Do you think it could be a brand preference for them? I haven’t purchased anything else new yet since the last jar went in the garbage 😅 I wanted to try the hikari but before I bought it, I wondered what your experience is with refused foods 🤷🏼‍♀️

    Thank you! I finally found a good answer to how much and what to feed my betta. I got a bag of betta bits (tiny pellets, slightly larger than a regular grain of salt), but he spits them all out. I sprinkled some bug bites, and he eats those, but most fall to the bottom of the tank. I have a small, one gallon tank and I wish I’d done more research before. The girl at the pet shop was pushing even smaller ones for bettas. Anyway, Max doesn’t seem overly food motivated, and after only 3 days, the water is already getting cloudy.

    the hikari line of fish food has and probably always will be my #1 choice of betta food. any fish food in general that’s made by them has always been of amazing quality and my bettas eat up anything I feed them from their line of food. I’ve got two betta on my desktop currently in filtered tanks, and yesterday I fed them both freeze-dried brine shrimp for their weekly treat (one of them is significantly older than the other - I fed him brine shrimp for the first time thinking he wouldn’t like it as he just spat out the bits before and never touched it; he ate of it all this time though). I don’t go overboard with a varied diet, but I keep it a little varied as I don’t want them stuck on the same thing their whole life as I don’t have space enough currently for various kinds of fish food - I thought this video was excellent though, very detailed and flowed greatly! I’d get any beginner aquarist I know who’s planning on keeping betta to watch this to learn about their diet. please keep up the amazing videos!
