The first thing to understand is that you should never overfeed your betta fish, as this may lead to lethargy and dropsy. Frozen bloodworms and pellets are excellent food options. Pellets are better than flakes, as pellets are formulated specifically for betta fish.
Pellets are a better option
Betta pellets have a krill and fish meal base and are designed to provide essential nutrients for your fish. They will not sink, allowing you to avoid bottom feeding. They contain high levels of protein and are easily digested. Plus, they don’t have high amounts of ash or other fillers, which can negatively impact the water quality of your tank.
Pellets are also better for the digestive system of bettas. Pellets are a good source of protein, but they also contain fiber to aid digestion. Pellets are best soaked in water prior to feeding. This helps get rid of any air inside the product and prevents bloating and constipation. Also, you should make sure the pellets you buy are specifically made for bettas.
