I have never tried Beta Food, or other fish food, either. I do buy maggots at my pet store. Here is a site you absolutely *MUST* read!

The temptation to trigger the traps manually should be resisted. Venus flytraps are entirely capable of catching their own food; thus, feeding them manually is not necessary. If for some reason a grower wishes to feed a flytrap, live insects no larger than 1/3 of the size of the trap may be used, as larger insects tend to have a detrimental effect on the plant as they often drastically shorten the individual trap's life and/or cause it to die. Algal growth near the plant is an indicator of overfeeding, as is an abundance of dead, black traps
