In the post below I'll go over all of the different types of food a betta fish typically enjoys and those are the most readily useful.

5 Best Types Of Betta Fish Food


1 ) Floating Pellets are probably the most frequent Betta food used and considered a staple, meaning this is what your primary food source will be.

There are lots of pellet sizes and brands available so choosing the high-quality Betta pellet is vital. Always browse the ingredients and choose a Betta pellet that's high in protein.


2. Sinking Pellets could also be used as a staple for your Betta, in the wild Betta fish an average of eating off the surface of the water, so sinking pellets don’t mimic this instinct.

But as mentioned above your Betta may be unique.

3. Betta Flakes are another staple, but very difficult to control just how much you are feeding. Flakes also sink fast and so are very hard to eliminate if uneaten.

This is considered a staple food.

4. Blood Worms most betta fish LOVE bloodworms. You can buy them frozen in little cubes which have numerous little worms or freeze dried.

WILL NOT drop a complete cube into the tank, instead cut the cube into smaller pieces or break off a chunk, place it in a cup with some water from your tank. When you're able to get 1-2 worms out use this at feeding time any more than this will be overfeeding.

Once you’ve melted some of the bloodworms will not re-freeze them, you should get rid of any unused worms. It is possible to refrigerate them for a day or two, but if they smell or change color just toss them.

5. Freeze Dried (shrimp, krill, bloodworms, daphnia) should be used for treats, they have low minerals and vitamins and can be utilized to replace a couple of meals weekly but not as a staple food.
