Feeding Bettas

Bettas in the wild usually feed exclusively on insects and insect larvae. They are built with an upturned mouth that is well suited to snatching any hapless insect that might fall into the water. Live foods are the ideal diet for the betta, however they will adapt to eating flake foods and frozen and freeze dried foods. Exotic Aquarium sells Live Brine shrimp and Live Tubifex (Black Worms), in addition to Frozen and Freeze Dried foods like bloodworms, beef heart, plankton, and others which are are all excellent options. If flake food is fed, it should be supplemented with frozen and freeze-dried foods, and live foods to keep your Betta healthy and happy.
