Betta's can be a very aggresive fish, especially the males. They may go after smaller slower moving fish that stray into their territory of the tank. If they stress out the fish enough that they kill it they will nibble on it, however Bettas are not a large carnivores and shouldn't be fed feeder fish. In fact, scince most feeders are goldfish (of a sort) the feeder may stress out the betta to the point that it will kill the betta. It is best just to feed a betta high protein flakes. Most pet stores that sell bettas also have food formulated for bettas scince it is such a popular species.

∙ 12y agoYes, they can if its small enough to fit in is mouth and its able to swallow it. Caught a bunch of small bluntnose minnows to help fertilize my plants in my fish tank a ghost shrimp killed and started to eat a weakened minnow then one of my female betta took the minnow from that shrimp so I decide to take a small minnow and feed it to my red male HM took a while of chasing around and nibbling but he was finally able to swallow it down head first. Guess it was a nice treat and exercise.
