Live foods

[Hummingguppy]

My pet store betta might have been inbred or something, I am not sure, but he is very small. He is a blue veil tail and it about and inch, including fins. Because of his size, he has trouble eating betta pellets, I have to crush them first. I was thinking that maybe a diet of live foods would be easier for him to eat and healthier. What type of live foods would be best? I wouldn't mind starting a culture or anything, that actually sounds like an interesting project.

Flightless fruit flies are awesome. Easy to find in most pet shops that carry reptiles, they usually come in a convenient jar, do not need any special care or anything, great for fish (especially small ones), but best of all they have no wings! they cant fly!

Have you tried flakes?

+1 on the flakes, my first betta wouldn't touch pellets. If you do want to try live mine liked daphnia, bloodworm and brine shrimp.
