Questions
How many pellets is a serving size? Why doesn't the manufacturer tell us?!
How many pellets would I need to feed an adult betta on a 2x daily feeding schedule?
My betta loves this...Because of how much is in the jar and I have 1 betta how long can I use this until I have to buy another one for freshness....?
- I researched how long fish food lasts, and everyone says about six months ONCE the package is opened. They talk about storing it in a cool, dry environment away from light, perhaps in an airtight baggy inside a paper bag or something to keep out the light. If unopened up until the expiration date, it's still probably good for 3 more months. Always look for changes in the food and signs of moisture. When my New Life Spectrum food starts getting older, I soak in Seachem Nourish. As long as the food looks OK, you can mix it with good stuff to keep it nutritious. When the jar is about half full or less, I throw it away and get a fresh jar. This is excellent quality food. As good as one can buy.

Could I feed this to my regular betta who is an adult
- Absolutely, the "small" is referring to the size of the pellets, not the size of the fish. It's great quality food and all my fish love it. I have Bettas and Harlequin Rasboras which have similar dietary requirements. Plus, I vary their food every couple of days. One day per week, they eat frozen Bloodworms. One day, freeze dried Daphnia, socked until soft, then fast the next day. Then back to pellets for about 3 or 4 days. Then the cycle repeats.

Could I use this food to feed guppies since they also have tiny mouths? If yes, could I crush the pellets to feed guppy fry?
- I haven't used this brand, but I have both Betta's, guppies n neon tetras in my 75 gal & 20gal and feed them all betta food and a variety of flakes and the guppies love getting their feed on anything they can, they seem to love the mini pellets I give my bettas, but the regular size betta pellets they just munch and munch till theres no more left :) I have also given them the micro pellets from hikari

My betta is very small and is nearly three months old. The first picture I took of him this week, the second was when I first got him about a month ago. He eats betta food and krill, and is kept in a warm, filtered 3.5 gallon aquarium. pH level seems fine. I am using a dechlorinator and slime coat conditioner for his water. Very active and eats one to two times a day. Should I be concerned, or is it possible the store aged him wrong? Why is my fish growing so slowly?
I have a male beta fish that will not eat (or at least I haven’t seen him eat). I got him 5 days ago. He’s in a 1 gallon bowl. I got him the recommended beta pellets but he can’t seem to get them to stay down. He gets excited when I feed him but when he goes for the pellet, he holds it in between his lips then spits it out. The pellets end up sinking after a while and that’s when he grazes the bottom. I think that’s how he’s getting his food but i’m not 100% sure. How can I get him to eat?
My Betta fish keeps spitting out its food. I feed it "XL color granules" mixed with "color flakes" its tank mate is a molly. I heard you can get bloodworms and soak them in garlic guard and they will eat it. Is this true? Thank you. -Cristina
He's a full grown betta fish, I've had him for a little over half a year, adopted him from a friend. He has a filter and a heater in his tank & I try to stick with recommended products. As of the last couple months, his fins are curling up in the back and he will only eat one pellet every other day or so. I had been feeding him three pellets twice daily. Last week I started cleaning his 1 gallon tank twice a week instead of once a week, and am considering upgrading to a 2.5 gallon tank instead.
Hey! I have a empty 5.5 and I planned on getting a baby betta the brand is Topfin. and I was just curious about the filter on it and if you think it would be to tough and blow the betta around or suck it into the filter. I also heard that Smaller Bettas are recommended live food but I don’t know how to raise anything like vinegar eels, microworms, etc.
Hello My male betta fish's name is Aries. He was introduced to his 1 gallon bowl 3 days ago from a pet store. He is really active and a god jumper and swimmer. He seems really healthy than I thought he would be considering the bowl size. But I when I fed him Betta granules he doesn't not eat it. I tried soaking it and he still doesn't eat it. He swims toward the food and looks at it and smells it? and swims away. At first I thought it would be because he's new and maybe stressed out. Pls help.
Trying to treat betta for Popeye otherwise healthy happy and active. Moved from five to three gallon filtered heated tanks. Feed freeze dried blood worms, daphnia and bug bites by fluval. Also am changing some if not all water every few days. Treated with kanaplex several doses no real improvement. Switzed to metroplex in water treatment as I don't know how food treatment works or how to dose started four doses two days apart and there is some improvement to the eyes. Med is miconidazole.
i need help treating my betta fish for swim bladder
My betta fish is not eating and we are noticing a change in he color. We feed her Aqueon Betta Food and she ate it for her first month but now she will put the food and either chew it up and spit out the food, or she will spit it out whole. We know that it takes two weeks for bettas to stave to death but we don’t know what is wrong. we removed the rocks from the bottom of the tank so she could eat the food off the floor of the tank if she got hungry. Below i’ll attach a before and after photo.
Hello. My betta fish is a baby and I don't know how much to feed her. Whenever I go over to her tank, she swims around and begs for food. I don't know how much I should feed her. I feed her on flake once a day everyday. Should I be feeding her more?
My betta has a swollen belly. He is not being over fed, he gets 2 fish pellets daily. Another behavior he displaying is sinking to the bottom of his tank every now and then. What is wrong with him? How do we help him? (For the photo he was temporarily placed in a cup)
My female betta has dropsy what can I get her
