Feeding my beta

Question
Hello, I just recently purchased my beta about a week ago i was told to feed her a pinch of dried blood worms once a week, but i dont know if this is enough to keep my fish from getting hungry during the rest of the week, or if it would be best to feed her daily. What do you think?
thank you

Answer
Hello Marissa -

It's probably best to feed your betta daily with pellet food, and use bloodworms once a week as a treat/supplement.

If bloodworms are the sole food source, then offer them every 2-3 days. Dried foods can make bettas bloat, so be careful with how much you feed her.

Hope this is useful,
