coltsfan Hobbyist Posts: 106 Kudos: 75 Votes: 6 Registered: 11-Jul-2007	It seems like I am in a question asking mood tonight! Do you all have specific times you feed your betta/fish? If I didn't feed him the same time everyday would that be a problem or is it ok? Right now I am feeding him in the morning and at night usually at ll a.m/p.m. Let me know what you do and maybe I will adopt that strategy...

I don't do set times, but usually it'll be after dinner. Depending on the setup, they sometimes get an algae wafer to play with during the day (it takes them a while to eat it ) For animals, the entire universe has been neatly divided into things to (a) mate with, (b) eat, (c) run away from, and (d) rocks. - Terry Pratchett

There are no such worries with fish, except for fry,so long as he gets some daily, and the odd two day break if he gets fat, it should be fine.

coltsfan Hobbyist Posts: 106 Kudos: 75 Votes: 6 Registered: 11-Jul-2007	Great, thanks for the ideas! I think I will start just feeding once a day. It seems like he'll either eat real good in the morning and won't eat anything at night or vice versa. So I think I will just feed in the morning.
