? Bettas like to eat mosquito larvae very much, because they feed on mosquito larvae when they live in the wild. Of course, fighting fish also prefer to eat adult mosquitoes, but because adult mosquitoes are difficult to catch, and the larvae of mosquitoes are on the surface of the water, so the larvae of mosquitoes are the staple food. Home-raised betta fish have difficulty eating mosquito larvae, and breeders can catch some adult mosquitoes to feed them.
do bettas eat? Generally speaking, bettas are fed with synthetic feed and live bait. Artificial feed can choose some floating water, because the betta is the upper fish, floating water feed can meet their habits. The live baits can be selected from shrimp, red worms, tubificidae, mealworms, mealworms, water fleas and the like. It is necessary to sterilize and disinfect before feeding live bait to avoid parasitic or bacterial infection.
The betta fish does not need much food. It is enough to feed the adult betta fish once a day. Because betta is a carnivorous fish, breeders can feed more live bait and less artificial feed. Betta fish do not know hunger and satiety, breeders need to ration feeding, the amount of each feeding in 10 minutes to eat the most appropriate.
