Yes. Feed your fish only a few flakes at a time to make sure you do not over feed. Do this three times for one fish.

Is there an animal that will overeat itself to death?
Betta fish will eat themselves to death, which means owners should only feed them once a day, and maybe skip a day so they can have an emptier stomach. Overeating is a cause of death for some betta's especially with children who continue to feed them. A sign of overeating is a large distended belly, and if this overeating habit isn't corrected the fish can over eat to death. The link below has more on the care of betta's, and where some of the information came from. (http://www.aquariumguys.com/betta-fish-care-article.html)
