Let your fish eat for 4 minutes. Skim over the water after that and remove exess food. You could also get a filter and stir up the gravel and let the filter suck it up.

Your betta fish lives in a oxygenated fish tank and when you feed him th food gets push to floor does he still eat enough?

I would be inclined to suggest you turn the air pump off. Bettas do not like or need that kind of disturbance (heaps of rising bubbles) in their tank and it will certainly be doing the fish no good. If you drive a filter with your air pump you will be doing something positive that will benefit the fish. Any food left in the tank must be syphoned out immediately after the 15 minutes you should allow for the fish to eat what you give it. Failure to do this will eventually result in poisoned water and dead fish.

Should you get the excess food out of your fish tank?

yes! unless you have an algae eater, fish don't like it when you have leftover food, fish foods spoil a lot in water Excess fish food will sink to the substrate and decay. This decay will create nitrates that is bad for your water quality and your fish. To reduce the amount of food in the substrate feed your fish less food and replace 10% of the water in your aquarium every week. At the same time vacuum your substrate to remove the excess food and fish waste. To prevent excess food only feed your fish once a day and only enough that they can eat in two minutes. I do this in the morning then give my 15 fish in a 75-gallon aquarium a cube of blood worms at night. See link below there is a video on how to vacuum your aquarium to remove the fish food.


If you run out of fish food is it safe to feed it hot sauce?

You would kill the fish by poluting the water if you added any kind of sauce to the water. The fish will survive a day or two without food until you can get some proper food for it/them.
