an adult beta male with lovely red/purple coloring. Just got him
from my daughter, and I'm happy to have him. Change the water every day using distilled water, or day old water. I practiced this on another beta a couple yrs ago, who has died. The pet store doesn't give accurate answers either, so its up to you to help me. Thanks

I have a pink Betta and i feed it a little pinch of flakes a day. I change the water once or twice a week and put a cap full of "Bette plus bowl conditioner" in the water.. He seems quite happy. Over feeding is definitely bad and the bowl conditioner gets rid of everything in the water and then you don't have to clean it as much. Hope this helps!!

My bettas are fed twice a day, five pellets each feeding. Hopefully your betta is in at least a gallon bowl. The smaller the more cleanings you have to do and the more cleanings the more stress that is created on the fish.
My bettas are in a gallon bowl each (I have three bettas) and their water gets changed every two weeks unless I notice that the water is getting bad beforehand. Like I said, each one gets fed five pellets in the morning and at night, especially my newest betta who is a young betta. The older ones don't really care to have as much food so if I notice that they aren't that active that day I usually cut it back to three pellets in the morning and at night.
If you need anymore help just let me know but you should be good to go!!

Beta's should be fed once a day. The normal life of these rice paddy fish is about 2 years. Enjoy.

you should feed it once a day unless you have the whole peace lilly ecosystem because that's when you would feed it 1-2 times per week. but you shoudn't need to change the water every day - it may actually end up shocking the fish if the temperatures aren't close enough

You should only feed it once a day.Only feed about 4 or 5 pellets each time.

you only feed fish once a day. You shouldn't have to do a water change every day.

only feed once daily and only what they can eat within a 3 to 5 minute time frame.
