โขFeeding Bettas
One of the most common causes of betta fish illnesses comes from owners not realising they are putting too much food in the tank. This can bloat the fish and any spare food will sink to the bottom and then become waste โ dirtying the water.
Betta fish are carnivorous animals. In the wild they hunt insects, larvae and insect eggs from the waterโs surface. So this means that your betta should be eating a meat / protein based fish food.
Be careful, some of the standard tropical fish flakes do not match the betta fish diet. If your betta shares a tank with other fish you will have to take into account the diet of all the fish.
