I have a betta!

The other thing is, does he *need* to eat betta food, or is tropical fish food okay? I throw some peas in there for the Mollies and he eats those as well. Is that healthy? I'm trying to find a frozen food that isn't too gross that I can feed as well. Do you know if the Betta, guppies, and Mollies will eat blood worms?

Bettas LOOOOVE frozen bloodworms! Breeders often condition their bettas with frozen bloodworms and other frozen/live worms. I only have bettas so I don't know if guppies and mollies will take the bloodworms.

Bettas are carnivorous, so peas don't really benefit them other than helping with the occasional swimming problem. I've read that they act as laxitives.. imagine constantly being given laxitives. YIKES!

Bettas love Bloodworms! And I'm sure the others do too. If he's not flaring too much, it's fine. Flaring is an excersize for Bettas, so it's good for them. Good luck, oh, and, where are the pictures?
