Ensuring the health of your betta fish involves proper feeding routines. Here’s a quick guide on how often to feed them:
- Frequency: Feed your betta fish once or twice daily. Overfeeding can lead to obesity and water contamination.
- Portion Size: Provide small portions that they can consume within two minutes. Uneaten food should be removed to maintain water quality.
- Type of Food: Offer a varied diet including high-quality betta pellets, frozen or live foods like brine shrimp and daphnia for balanced nutrition.
- Fasting: Consider a fasting day once a week to aid in digestion and prevent bloating.
