Bettas are meat eaters but they also eat pellets.When bettas were in the wild they would eat flys nd other things. I suggest not putting small fish with bettas because they like to..........eat them! Im sorry to say but , yes they do eat smaller fish, THEY EVEN EAT THERE BABYS! Yes , its true , they eat there babys , well the males doesnt eat the eggs , [all of the time] , but the females do . The males will take care of the eggs in the bubble nest and even when they hatch. They take care of them until they are out of the bubble nest , swiming freely. Then I suggest you take the male out or he will eat them. That's when you put the female back in and she will take care of the babys until they grow up!
If you do all of this then you will have baby bettas. I am sayin this because i have baby bettas in the bubble nest my male betta built , right now! There so little and they kinda look black but don't let that black fool you because when they get out of the bubble nest they turn CLEAR! So keep a close eye on your bettas , and have fun being a batta parent!
fishI have had my beta for over a year and I feed him once a night- sometimes he skips his feeding.I usually feed him about 3-5 little pellets- although the food directions call for two feedings of 7 pellets at a time.

Can betta fish eat tuna I have no fish food?
You will end up killing your Betta if you don't feed it properly. Canned fish for humans is no good for Bettas. The Betta will not eat it and it will poison the water.. Bettas are insectivorous fish and will eat Mosquito Larvae, Brine Shrimp etc. A Betta can live for some considerable time without food, so if you can't get to a pet shop and buy some Betta food, you can always order Betta food online and should get it within a week or so.
