feed a male beta fish goldfish? If I can, how many do I give him in one feeding? Will he beat em up first? Cause that would just be wrong!

Oh sure. Just get a small knife and cut the goldfish into nip size pcs. get half of the pieces then drop them in the tank. The other pieces is for their dinner. Wash your hands thoroughly

How do you plan on doing that? First of all, Bettas are not piscivores (they don't eat fish), second, the Goldfish would be much faster than the Betta, and would just swim away, thrid, even if the Betta could eat the Goldfish, it's gonna make your water look disgusting with all the bits of fish floating around. Stick to frozen food, pellets, or live insects...

I'd stick to blood worms, I don't think goldfish would be a easy meal for a Betta. I have never had a Betta, I keep cichlids, but I never feed my cichlids goldfish because the lack of nutrition and the chance of them getting a disease from the feeders. So I would stick to normal pellet food and blood worms for their food source. Good luck.

Betta fish are small - they can't eat goldfish, which grow 15x bigger!
