how many times a week should i feed my Japanese Fighting Fish?

Answer 1

I feed mine twice a day. Once with flake or pellet and once with frozen or live foods. Your fish is normally referred to as a betta or a Siamese fighting fish.

Answer 2

Some people choose to, but it's not nessesary to feed your fish twice a day. An example diet for a week would be: 3-5 pellets a day for 6 days with bloodworms as treats 2-4 times a week and a fasting day. Bettas can become easily constipated and fasting and/or given a cooked, deshelled frozen pea can help clear out his or her system. Peas can also help with swimbladder problems. (If you'd like more info on feeding peas, e-mail me)

I would recommend feeding him or her 6 days a week and fast one day. Don't be concerned with him starving on his fasting day, bettas can go long periods without food (though it's not recommended!) Fasting him one day of the week will cause no adverse side effects.

Answer 6

A Japanese Fighter fish is also know as a Siamese Fighter fish and more commonly a Betta..

For your Betta lways select the proper foods. Bettas are selective eaters. A betta specific pellet is OK, but live or freezing foods are preferable. The recommended diet includes frozen brine shrimp and frozen bloodworms.

The succeeding rule is to not overfeed your bettas. Carefully dose the meals; because even if the fish eats all you give him, he will produce much more waste when overfed, and the pollution level of the jar he is in will go beyond safe range This problem is smaller if you keep your betta in a larger aquarium. Remember not to leave uneaten food in the aquarium! Once your betta and the rest of the fish are finished eating, you must remove all uneaten left over food. If you do not remove it, it will soon rot and cause havoc in the tank.

Bettas prefer to eat from the upper parts of the water column. They don't really enjoy eating from the bottom of the tank. So before dropping the food in your betta's tank, make sure you have his attention. Let him see the food, get it close to his face from the outside of the aquarium, let him check out what it is, and then there you go! Drop food in front of his nose. The best way is to drop a tiny bit of food - about 6 frozen brine shrimp, watch the betta eat it all and then look at his belly, if it looks the same as it did before you fed, it's ok to give him more, but always watch and make sure to make the second portion smaller than the first.

Your betta should go for the food right away, but if not, watch where the food sinks, and what the betta does. If after 15 minutes he has not eaten the food, remove the food. Never let the water go cloudy. If it is already cloudy then change it, as cloudy water will threaten your betta's health. Normally, small bowls or containers should have water changes at least twice a week. Larger tanks can be changed once a week. And notice if the ammonia and nitrite levels are at high levels, because both are very bad for your betta. Also be wary of harmful bacteria - they can ruin your fish's life, but don't kill off all bacteria in the aquarium since bacteria is essential for a well functioning aquarium.
