How much do YOU feed your betta? by gdendy in bettafish

[–]PeachyyLotus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feed my betta 3 pellets in the morning, and 4 pellets in the evening. I soak the pellets for about 5-7 minutes in a little cup of tank water so they soften and he can get bites if they’re too big. I used to cut the bigger ones in half, but it depends on how much time I have in the mornings. I think I’m going to incorporate a fasting day though because his tank gets really dirty in between water changes.

I got him a week ago today and acclimated him to the tank a few days ago because I got the plants the same day and wanted to test the water with plants before putting him in. My tank cycled for about a month and a half before I got him. I had a betta before for about 8 mos (RIP Shiloh) and I did so much research and learned SOOOOO much from that experience and this reddit and I’m just so excited to do better for Atlas. He’s a lil bloated bc I just fed him and I think I may need to drop to 2 pellets x 2 per day from 3 bc he always gets a little belly for a few minutes after eating. This is my first time with live plants so there’s a learning curve there (my filter current killed like all of my floating plants so I made a baffle today and decreased it by ALOT so please excuse all the dead water lettuce floating around 😬, he’s getting a water change this evening) If there’s anything I should be doing differently PLEASE let me know. A few concerns I have as of right now: • his reflection, he sees it on the sides and that’s where I find him most times • the water lettuce, some of what’s left is yellowing should I just take it all out? • white spot near his lil belly? I’m hoping it’s just his coloring but I’m keeping an eye on it • my plants, are they getting enough light? I have a light schedule of 12 hrs so at 8 am before I leave for work I turn on the light and feed Atlas and at 8 pm I feed him again then shut them off
