Fighting Fish - Feeding

Meal Time
Three words to keep in mind when it comes to feeding your fish. Varied. Picky. Sparingly. . Some betta grub is protein rich. Others less so. Some types of food are more nutritious than others while some can even cause your fish problems.

Variety is key. Feeding something close to their natural diet helps too. You'll have more active, more colorful not to mention healthier bettas. Who will practically go wild at feeding time.

A rotation of bloodworms, pellet food and frozen brine shrimp is one way to go. Provided your betta cooperates and actually eats the food presented. Otherwise you'll have to experiment with a variety of freeze dried or frozen worms, larvae and crustaceans to see what your lovely WILL eat.

Betta Tip:
A day of fasting is a good idea. Gives your fish a chance to clear their digestive tract.

Plant Time
Living plants seem like a good idea. Until they stop living. Then they add to bio load and can quickly affect water quality by introducing food for bacteria and fungus. For that reason fish safe silk plants, while not the purists choice, may be the better choice for your betta world.

To Summarize.
Bettas are probably one of the less demanding tropical fish Still these Siamese fighting fish need adequate space, a properly filtered/heated watery environment, regular water changes and a variety of foods (not simply dry pellets) to thrive.

Hopefully with this relatively low- maintenance checklist you'll be able to provide proper care of siamese fighting fish.
