Feeding Betta Fish – Overfeeding Causes Death – Proper Nutrition and Feeding of Betta Fish

Article by T L Gallamore

As a betta owner for while now, I’ve had my share of scouring the internet for resources that will lead to the best possible care of my betta fish. Here I’m going to compile for you some of the most important things I’ve found out as a Betta owner and give you a resource that has saved my fish through many hardships.

Diet is huge, or is it? Betta feeding is a debate that goes back and forth ceaselessly. Some say one food is better than the other and of course the next forum you visit will be filled with opinions stating that another method of Betta feeding is far superior. So what the heck are you supposed to believe? Well, I’m not sure, but I can give you my honest experiences and try to back them up the best I can.

Pellet food has, in my experience, proven to be the most effective way to get a Betta to eat a well balanced diet. While live foods are often accepted readily by betta fish as they recognize these foods as those native to their environment in the wild (catching insects above the water), they can contain parasites. Furthermore, they contain far less vitamins and nutrients that help a betta thrive and even maintain color. You might be asking, “If we’re only concerned about the ingredients, then why not flakes which contain the same nutrients as pellets?” Because we’re NOT just concerned with ingredients…

Overfeeding is one of the most dangerous threats to a Betta fish in captivity. The flakes in flake food vary in size and it can be hard to feed a betta correctly. Pellets are easy to measure because they are very close in size and you can feed them a set number each day. I have found two pellets in the morning and two at night to be perfect for Gilbert, my young male betta fish.

Check the list below and see what you could learn from Betta Care Made Easy. This is just a small sampling of the Betta subjects covered in how to give your pet the best life possible.

Caring for Betta Fish – How to Keep Your Fishy Friend Healthy

Article by Shawn Pronger

The Betta fish, also know as the Siamese fighting fish, is one of the most popular types of fish in the world. It is one of the most beautiful and recognizable types of fish. It’is also low maintenance compared to other pets. Caring for Betta fish is relatively easy as long as you follow a few simple rules.

Follow the Betta fish care tips below and you’ll be on your way to a happy and healthy pet.

1. Betta’s need plenty of room to swim around, so a large enough bowl is important. They also need access to the surface. Betta’s have a specialized respiratory organ that allows them to breath air directly from the atmosphere.

2. Betta fish do not require water filtration (in fact, they do better in standing water) so no pumps are necessary. But the water must be replaced every 3 days. The new water should sit out for 24 hours before being added to the tank.

3. The ph level of the tank should be maintained at 7. You can pick up a ph testing kit at any pet store.

4. Betta’s love warm water. They originate from the tropical waters of Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Indonesia. Keep the tank temperature at around 80 degrees Fahrenheit. He may get listless if the temperature drops below 75 degrees.

5. They are called fighting fish for a reason. Males are territorial and will fight each other to the death if kept in the same tank. Females can coexist and so can one male with many females.

6. Betta fish can jump, so keep the tank covered at all times unless you want to come home to a dead Betta fish on your carpet.

7. Avoid using soap when cleaning the inside of the tank and accessories. Soap residue can affect the ph level or harm the fish.

8. Betta fish are not picky eaters and will eat frozen bloodworms and Betta pellets without a fuss. But they prefer live food (in the wild their diet mostly consists of insects that fall into the water), so treat them to some brine shrimp once in awhile.

Once you own your Betta for a while you’ll become familiar with his personality and develop an instinct for caring for Betta fish. You’ll be able to spot if your little friend isn’t himself and you’ll know exactly what to do.

I’ve just given you what I consider a beginner’s guide to Betta fish care. If you’re really serious about Betta’s and want to learn everything you can about caring for Betta fish, you need a lot more information than I can write in one article.
