	weirdest food you've given to your betta?
fairynr Hobbyist Posts: 90 Kudos: 81 Votes: 4 Registered: 10-May-2005	I was bored today, so I decided to try something new. I took out the frozen peas and gave one to my betta. I was surprised when he gobbled it all up! So, i was wondering what weird foods you've given to your bettas. Then I can give him some more interesting food!!

houston Fish Guru You want what when? Posts: 2623 Kudos: 2462 Votes: 337 Registered: 29-Mar-2003	Where do I begin on weird foods Ok let's begin with fingers, algae wafers intended for the corries, carrots, peas, broccoli, cauliflower, blood worms, small ants, any small insects that get too close to me, fleas (as of late), heck you name it they eat it...I know Keithgh is feeding his little boy pears Just try feeding them bits and pieces of whatever veggies that are lying around and see if they take to it heidi ps the peas are good at fixing constipation on any and all fishies hml "I've got a great ambition to die of exhaustion rather than boredom."

kitten Fish Guru Meow? Posts: 2266 Kudos: 2194 Votes: 19 Registered: 18-Nov-2003	My community tanks get a wide variety of foods, so my betta girls have a nice cousine set up for them. Besides their normal diet, they eat the cories' wafers, nibble at the BN pleco's zucchini, and basically eat anything in the tank. Of course, when I threw an ant into the tank, I was surprised when the girls DIDN'T go after it. In fact, the black neons did instead! This black neon chomped down on an ant almost half its own body length, if not more. It was HILARIOUS. ~Meow. Thus spoke the cat.~

I have only had the M Betta a few days and he is already eating cooked, peas, corn & carrot. Within one week he was eating the peas out of my finger tips.

I can't recall why, i think he just looked a bit hungry while i was eating not good for him though!

I think its soo cool when they eat all these different things (especially from my hand) I also gave the peas to the rest of my fish, and my brother's fish (he should be happy that I did that since he didn't feed them yesterday) Thanks all/:'
