Can betta fish eat lettuce

Answer 1

Betta fish are naturally carnivores. They don't eat plants in the wild (this is why bettas in jars are so bad). If it will eat it, however, It shouldn't be bad for it.

No Bettas are Insectivorous.

Answer 2

I went to the beach and collected plants for my betta fish, but are those plants okay for the betta fish?

no bettas are Freshwater Fish so mixing things with freshwater that usually lives in saltwater might be disturbing (trust me i tried) also bettas are carnivourus so i doubt theyd eat it

Answer 3

Yes, bettas appreciate fake (or even better, real plants) to hide in. This will lower stress and increase their interest in their surroundings. However, when buying fake plants, look for the silk ones first as plastic plants are more risky since they are harder and more likely to rip your betta's fins, leading into a whole spiel of infections which could lead up to other disease.

However, if you do plan on getting plastic plants, test it but gently by using the 'pantyhose test': If a plastic plant will snag a pair of pantyhose when rubbed against it, then it will damage your betta's fins. Be safe and buy silk plants instead.

Answer 4

Bettas eat insects and water born crustacea etc. They do not eat plants. My male Betta ate a crustacea, it was a ghost shrimp it ate its insides and left the shell, but for some reason he only eats at night.

Answer 5

yeah of course!! but it depends sometimes on the fish!! if you see it trying to eat it then maybe take it out for a while but the maybe after a week or so put it back in!!:)
