Re: Some Questions
that is sad! some people dont realise they need to do thier own research about the pet and just listen to their LFS. mine told me i only had to feed my boy once a week!

Re: Some Questions
Wow, once a week is shocking! My good LFS says Hikari pellets 2x daily... really lucky to have such a good shop

Re: Some Questions
OMG thats is so horrible how can you feed a betta once a week? Imagine feeding yourself once a week ? how would you look like ha?
Re: Some Questions
That is probably what happened with the poor betta in the link, she probably got one that said feed once a week! How he lived a year I don't know.

Re: Some Questions
I think my fish seems to have a similar issue. my betta fry will (after they eat) have a round stomach and float around the tank it's only temporary though.

Re: Some Questions
I wouldn't feed them more than once a day, either 3-4 pellets or 2-3 flakes. For a treat you could give them 1-2 bloodworms a week. To help with digestion you could do one fasting day per week. But the bloating I wouldn't worry about too much as it goes away. I feed the five girls in my sorority tank a pinch of flakes(10-12 flakes) in the morning and a smaller amount at night(5-7 flakes), I don't have a fasting day yet because I got my girls on Saturday but I will have one as well as likely get some bloodworms soon. Good luck with your bettas!
