What kind of filter do you have? Sponge filters, run through a gang valve, are a good choice for a betta tank. Gang valves can divert excess air coming from the airpump so that the air going into the sponge filter is reduced, and therefore making minimal to no current for the betta.

Pellet foods are good - soak them in tank water for about 2 minutes before feeding. If bettas spit out food, it may mean that it's too big. Some pellet brands are bigger than others. Bettas are picky eaters too. I had a new betta once that didn't eat for a week.

I would not suggest an unthawed pea. Boil frozen peas in the microwave, in tap water, for 4-5 minutes. Peel and discard the skin. Cut the remainder of the pea into pieces that are the same size as his pellet food or food he is used to. My bettas like the peas better than bloodworms. I feed the peas once a week as a prevention for constipation.
