No. Betta fish are primarily insectivores and need a food higher in protein. Goldfish are primarily herbivores and need a pellet that is very low in protein.
Bettas prefer a floating pellet since they naturally eat insect larvae that's on the water's surface. Goldfish need a slowly sinking pellet since they naturally eat water plants and gulping too much air from the surface can make them sick.
There are betta specific pellets out there. They will last a long time since you only need to feed a betta a very small amount daily (usually betwen 4-5 pellets) Use them for a healthy, happy betta. Good luck!

∙ 14y agoYes you can feed it goldfish food but the wrong kind of food will not be very good for it. Betas are insectivorous fish which means they mainly eat live insects and underwater crustacea like daphnia etc. Goldfish are omnivorous which means they eat insects and algaes as well as some water plants etc. The commercial Flakes made for goldfish are a balanced diet of all the kinds of things an omnivorous cold water fish would eat. The commercially made Pellets specially made for Betas contain the kind of things a tropical insect eater would eat. Your Betta would do better on Tropical Fish Flakes and best on Betta Pellets/Flakes.
