It's about total amount, not individual number. A betta's stomach is only slightly larger than its eye, and fits between their head and the long belly fin. Only give them as much as they will completely eat in about 2 minutes.

How many times a day do you feed a betta fish betta food?

once every day or 2, and just a small pinch Siamese fighting fish? The pet store where you bought your betta will have food as well, probably freeze-dried blood worms. Feed your Siamese fighting fish two or three times a day, only what he will eat in a few minutes. Overfeeding will make the water cloud faster, and your betta will be more likely to get ill. Oh btw, you should keep them in separate fish bowls. They're called "fighting fish" for a reason. They are highly territorial animals and will react violently if two are placed in the same container. You can see the preliminary phase of their fighting, the threat display, if you put a mirror up against the bowl. Notice the raised gill covers, which makes the betta look bigger. IF THEY FIGHT THEY FIGHT TO THE DEATH SO BE VERY CAREFUL U CAN LET THEM FIGHT IF U STAND THERE WITH A NET AND BREAK T UP AFTER A LITTLE WHILSE AND PUT EM IN THERE OWN SEPERATE BOWLS OR GET A DOUBLE TANK

Feed your fish as much as they will completely consume in 1-2 minutes. If there is any feed left over after this amount of time, then you have overdone it. The reason we tell people the 1-2 minute rule rather than a set amount is that conditions change within your pond.

Can bettas eat anything besides betta food?

I assume by "fish food" you mean standard flake fish food. Bettas are carnivores, so you can feed them many of the commonly available frozen fish foods (bloodworms, plankton, krill, tubifex worms, etc). You can also try tiny bits of raw shrimp from the grocery store and/or worms from the garden/yard. Give the fish a chance to check out and eat the new food, but be sure to remove anything the fish does not eat in about five minutes.
