Answer
Hi Btee,
You must find a food that your betta likes.  Colour enchanting food is not what bettas like.  They should have a varied diet.  Here is a list of food that bettas should have:

Betta Pellets
Betta flakes
Plankton flakes
Daphnia...( Very important)
Bloodworms ( once or twice a week as a treat) They should have bloodworms at least twice a week.
Glass Worms
Mealworms
Brine Shrimp ( must be frozen)
One frozen cooked pea with the outer layer removed, and cut into tiny pieces.  Feed the pieces to your betta, one piece at a time, making sure he eats it, and that it does not fall to the bottom of the tank.  This is so he can clean out his system, and avoid Swim Bladder Disease to which the betta is prone.  On the day you feed him the pea, feed him nothing else.
Bettas can be very fussy, but if you vary their food, they will get all the vitamins they need, and will live healthy lives.
Bettas should have 2-3 small meals a day.  Example:  2 pellets for one meal or two flakes for one meal.  Always feed the betta with the same food for one day, then the next a different food, and so on.
Colour enchanting food does nothing for fish, it is best that you buy them the food that they should have.
I hope this helps.
