Normally I plan in such a way on the day that I am doing water change I will feed market prawn before water change. The next day I will starve the Bettas.
I only feed market prawn once a week

never share your luxury scallop bits regime

Hi, thank you all for being so willing to share.
I have only a collection of only two bettas at the moment. A red hmpk and a black dragon.
Ive got a few question

#1. How do you "prepare" the tubifex worms before feeding?
#2. As my collection is small and the frozen bloodworms cubes are huge, is there any tips in rationing?
#3. Mp is the first what ive heard. Its really a good idea as its nutritious. Could this be a form of main diet? hmm..
#4. For bbs and boon unlikely because they are so small for my bettas and not worth the time and money to obtain them.
#5. I remembered using sari hikari sinking pellets for them. Used to be really popular with betta hobbyist here.

Hi there bro, not reallie a pro but would like to share.
1) Normally i would wash them many times before i feed them.
2) I don't think that there is a way to keep them as they are like normal food we consume, meaning it will go bad if we keep defrosting and freezing it. Try to feed other fishes if u have.
3) This i never try before. Maybe some shi fus can tell us more.
4)More or less those are for young bettas.
5)Never tried that before, diet for my bettas are tubifex or FBW

Freeze up the tubi's? Sounds like a plan!

Indigestion , my friend tried market prawn for his giant and den dropsy followed .

Bro livingwall , i am not joking , my friends giant got dropsy from eating MP . Might be other reasons but after eating MP it got dropsy so i assuming its the MP . Had no experience on feeding Mp before .
