Hey guys. I have a few questions about the simplest of things for a tank. How much to feed the fish. This question is often brought up, and is often answered with many different answers. The answers I've heard are...
For my betta, I feed him roughly 4-6 pellets, twice a day. he doesn't look fat, he looks like he has a "soft protruding belly" which I've read is good.
I know that fish feeding is very opinionated, and will vary from person to person and fish to fish. I also know that fish are opportunistic feeders, and will eat pretty much whenever they can. But honestly I'm at a loss here. I have no idea what "rule" to follow. Can you guys offer some words of wisdom?
- Feed once a day, no more than your fish can eat in 5 minutes (or 2 minutes)
- Feed once every two days
- Feed twice a day, no more than they can eat in 1 minute
- (For Bettas) Feed 4 pellets, twice a day
- (For Bettas) Feed 4-8 pellets, once every two days
- (For Bettas) Feed 4-8 pellets, once a day
