My fish are adored, because i dont have time to put effort into other pets. (They both have first and last names and one has a middle name..and very distinct personalities). They are two red beta fish. Any simple ideas on fun things to do? Can they eat anything besides regular fish food?

Give them each a roomy tank with filter, heater, and plants. This is the type I use for my bettas: http://www.thatpetplace.com/pet/group/22435/product.web Each gets at least 2-3 plants (real, silk, or mixed) and a piece of driftwood.
Mine get fed twice a day, once with pellets and once with a frozen or live food (bloodworms, mosquito larvae, blackworms, or daphnia) and get a cooked green pea with the skin removed once a week (bettas are prone to constipation if they get too much dry food and the fiber from the pea helps prevent this).
If you want to see some fun, give your bettas some live mosquito larvae or blackworms. It's always funny to watch the first time they try to eat a food that moves and twists - they seem so surprised! The variety in their diet is good for them, too.
If you want to try mosquito larvae, just put out a container of water with a few leaves at the bottom. Just be sure to collect and use them before they metamorphose into biting adults. It's free food, and you don't have to worry about the water quality they come from.

Very good question. I have a male and female Betta fish, one of wich is blue and the male is red and blue. His name is Thunder just as the female's Name is, you are going to like it, Athena, goddess of wisdom. It fit's her pretty well too. Anyway... For fun I would train them to jump for there meal sometimes, it's very cool. Aside from regular fish food, you could feed them wingless fruit flies you find in your kitchen or they also will eat blood worms and brine shrimp. Here are a couple of sites for your info on feeding:

You can feed the tubifex worms, well we get them in Australia, they are live and the Betta's love them, you can buy a container of the worms and you keep them in the fridge, only feed a max of 2 per 2 days. once the worms get a slimy appearance you have to discard them. Your Betta's will love you
Ps you buy the worms from an aquarium shop

Your question is opened to greater suitable than one interpretation. i've got considered infant fishes at tanks at petsmart. I asked the sales human beings and that they gave me some with my different fish purchase. particular they separate them especially circumstances. *scratches head.

I feed mine zucchini or cucumber once a week. It's fun to watch them try to tear pieces off. I weigh the veggies down with one of those plant anchors.

Over 14,000 aquarium supplies for your tank we are your 1-stop fish supply store
reptile stores
Pets Warehouse® is a direct importer of fish, corals and aquatic plants, and has been since 1974. Because of our expertise, you can purchase direct the most stress free, well acclimated & cleaners,
saltwater aquarium fish, reef corals, live rock inverts aquarium plants, fishes in freshwater and African cichlids. We realize there are others on the Internet marketing live stock, but ask them how long they've been in business.
Do they have a facility to hold & acclimate these specimens? Do they have the knowledge and expertise to keep these animals alive and healthy? Are they merely a
home based business with a computer? Imagine your fish bouncing around in the back of a van as they pick up fish from different wholesalers. Pets Warehouse also sells just about anything you may need in the way of tropical fish supplies at great savings. So if you're tired of paying retail prices for your fish and aquarium pet fish supplies, give us a try and NEVER PAY RETAIL PRICES AGAIN !
Saltwater Headquarters
handfeeding diet
As direct licensed importers of saltwater marine fish, the reef aquarium fish at Pets Warehouse are checked out before there shipped out.
Saltwater fish are well acclimated, tanked and eating (not shipped out the day after being imported and still stressed out!) before you introduce them to your salt water aquarium so you can be assured you will receive them in great condition.

Parrot food
Pets Warehouse imports great live rock.
All shapes & sizes including branch and slab or shelf.
We offer the Live rock two ways un-cured with free store pick up or shipped 2nd day air FREE shipping included. Or we have it fully cure it so it's ready to place into your tank. If you see Fiji aquarium rock at a lower cost it is because it is just re-shipped without curing. Pre-curing is not the same as fully cured. We believe it can't be fully encrusted rock or fully cured live rock for any price lower than ours.
