Question
Hi my name is Colin,
I recently purchased a betta fish and am worried about its
health. I really like the animal and really dont want it to die. Um
when i was at the store they reccomended that i put other fish in
with it so i put 3 neon tetras with it and they require other food.
well my beta doesnt really like its pellet food and will eat the
tropical food and the tetras wont eat at all! So is this bad and
what do i do about the tetras not eating?Oh whats up with the
water temperature , whats the perfect temperature and how can
i get it there?Thanks so much this sites been a blessing and i
really apprecaite all of your help!-Colin Pociask

Answer
Hi Colin,

  Let me tell you i have 3 angele fish and a tetra in one of my 20 gallond tanks, and the only and best food that he will eat is the rich tropical flakes which in my opinion are the best type of food for all fish aswhell as bettas,Trust me on this the food which he is eating now is better than his betta food, so keep on feeding him as you would with the tropical fish food.P.S. dont worry about the temp. as long as it is room temp.THANKS!
