Fish4life Posted March 10 Report Share Posted March 10 His tank is a 10 gallon with 3 bristlenose plecos. If you have any tips on how I can get this one to live long please tell me, espessially if you have a tip to avoid overfeeding which is what killed my other fish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted March 11 Report Share Posted March 11 A Betta only lives 2 - 3 years so if you choose the biggest in the display, it is also possibly the oldest and may already be 12 months or more old. How do you know it was over-feeding that killed the last one? Bettas need a diet high in protein so live food is good or specially formulated fish food for bettas. Here is a really good article about how much to feed your betta that should help you... https://www.myaquariumclub.com/skinny-bettas-underfeeding-might-be-worse-than-overfeeding-19292.html livingart 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish4life Posted March 13 Author Report Share Posted March 13 I know that my late betta fish died from overfeeding because i accidently spilt food in the tank once and the his stomach was really big. Also is it fine if i feed my betta fish pallets everyday and dried bloodworms once a week? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 If they are pellets designed specifically for Bettas - yes. You can also feed frozen blood worms etc but be very careful handling the blood worms as many (me included) get an allergic reaction to them. Wear gloves or use utensils so you don't actually touch them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
