Getting my first Betta!

[sammy101]

I'm going to feed him twice a day. In the morning and at night. He had 5-6 bits tonight, but he didnt have any bloodworms.
Oh i have another question. Does he need a light during the night time? He's in the dark until morning.

Umm.. like 5-6 pellets? That's a little much . My bettas get 2-3 pellets in the morning, and 2 at night, and mid-day sometimes they get freeze-dried bloodworms.. FDB gives swim bladder/constipation really fast if overfed, so just try to be careful. I think he'll be okay in the dark at night.

If they're the same size as the Hikari pellets, 5-6 2x a day is wayyyy too much. Even 5-6 once a day is still a bit much. I don't feed pellets as often anymore but when I did, I would give them 2-3 a day. Somedays I would fast them for a few days too.

He doesn't need light at night. Bettas like to sleep too!

Your new CT is very beautiful!

Nope, he likes to sleep just like you Are you giving him lots of light in the daytime, though? Light & a good, clean tank keeps a Betta healthy, and not only that, it changes their colors brighter and prettier
