gourmet feasts for yellow betta fish

Betta is naturally carnivorous, they prefer to eat live food like small invertebrates and insects that float the surface of the water. Like other carnivores they have a short digestive system; a basic thing of carnivores' dieting process is they have difficulty processing carbohydrates such as corn and wheat; which are generally shown in many fish. A betta diet includes nutrition-rich animal protein.

Like most fishes, yellow betta has a weak immune system so it is difficult to process carbohydrates such as corn, and wheat. Which are used to temporarily feel the belly of the fish. The main betta diet consists of animal protein and green leaves. When you feed the betta give a small amount of the food, and serve them 2 -3 times a day. Because when you gave them large portation of food then can not tolerate them. And it leads to gas and constipation.

Some common betta foods you can offer are:

Pellets: pellets and omega are the first choice for elephant ear betta keepers. This food was easy to digest and rich in protein.

Flake food: flake food comes with different fillers so Betta remains interested in food. But feeding for a long time the same food causes bloating.

Frozen food: this is one of the favorite betta foods such as bloodworms. Some of the betta caretakers use frozen food like junk food or primary food.

Freeze-dried: treat your betta sometimes for change offer them Daphnia, and Brine Shrimp as an occasional treat. When they are bored from the regular diet offer them dried worms or shrimp.
