What Betta Fish Eat Everyday Can Shorten Their Lives
What do Betta fish eat?
It is really easy to figure out what your betta likes to eat, since they will eat what they like the most every day. They are usually not that picky about what you give them, but what you feed your betta will have a huge effect on your betta’s overall health and the lifespan of your betta fish.
Don’t be surprised if your betta fish is very picky at times. This is quite normal, especially if you are trying to feed it worms that are not fresh, or flake food, which you should never feed them. You may even find that your betta fish will give you a certain look if you try to feed it something that it does not like. Only people who have owned betta fish really know what this look is, but I can assure you that once you get to know your fish, you will be able to see it.
Frozen brine shrimp and bloodworms, “betta bits” and “betta fish food” are all good choices for the types of food you should be giving to your betta. You can find these at most pet stores. You can also give them fresh bloodworms, but they tend to get messy and any uneaten portions will make the water a lot murkier than the frozen bloodworms.
These foods we just went over are the best foods to feed your betta. If you give your betta other types of food, it is likely that it will not live as long, and may end up getting an infection or some other sickness.
