Siamese fighting fish (betta splendens) are among the most sought-after home aquarium pets. These freshwater species come with various colors, shapes and fins that provide beautiful visual appeal to home aquariums.
Bettas can live up to four years in captivity with the right diet and tank conditions, provided their protein needs are met through feedings of frozen bloodworms, brine shrimp and daphnia as well as speciality pellets or flakes for their specific species.

Fluval Bug Bites Tropical Fish Food
Fluval Bug Bites Tropical Fish Food is an advanced nutritional formula developed specifically to provide your tropical fish with all of the vitamins, minerals and trace nutrients they require for proper development and wellbeing. Formulated specifically to address their insect-based feeding habits and consisting of various quality proteins.
The tropical formula features up to 40% nutrient-rich black soldier fly larvae as the first ingredient, as well as high concentrations of multiple proteins like whole salmon and fish protein concentrate. Furthermore, it features slow sinking microgranule or pellet format for your fish to feed at their preferred depth.
This formula is easy for fish to digest and naturally palatable, without artificial fillers, colors or preservatives. We suggest feeding your betta two to three times a day an amount they can consume within about two minutes – use this food alone or combine it with other sources to ensure they get all of the essential vitamins they require for optimum health.
Hikari Frozen Bloodworms
Frozen bloodworms (the bright red larvae of midge flies) can be found at most pet stores and provide a great way to add some variety and diversity to your betta’s diet, although only as part of their overall protein-rich meaty meal plan. Bettas are carnivorous creatures and must adhere to an eating regime rich in animal proteins for survival.
Hikari Bio-Pure Frozen Bloodworms stand out as the superior frozen bloodworm option due to being filled with multivitamin supplements and being sterilized three times for superior product quality, free from bacteria, parasites, and foul odors.
Feed your pets easily! They come packaged in foil-sealed cubes that can be broken apart into single pieces for feeding, with frozen worms that expand and float freely in tank water when thawed out – an effortless feeding experience and easily refreezable for future use.
Bloodworms should only be fed as treats to your Betta fish a few times each week. If he refuses to consume them, try switching up his diet by switching between brine shrimp, white worms or grindal worms as more tasty options.
Hikari Betta Pellets
These pellets provide easy food for betta fish. Their two-year shelf life ensures your pet receives enough of their favorite food while giving you peace of mind that their vitamins and minerals will continue to flourish.
Many betta owners have discovered that their fish appreciate freeze-dried daphnia and brine shrimp as treats, which make a tasty supplement to their main pellet diet. Not only are they convenient and multivitamin enhanced; they may even help prevent fish bloat!
These foods may be less costly than traditional betta pellets, but they require additional effort for your fish to digest, taking more effort to break up into smaller pieces if required. Some bettas may find this difficult or find too large of pieces hard and will spit them out, so it is essential that you first learn their natural feeding habits before beginning feedings.
