Betta Pellets Too Big
I have aqueon betta pellets laying around from before and these are about 0 5 mm thick and can fit in his mouth but these pellets are obviously.
Betta pellets too big. Yeah i wouldn t use flakes. Betta pellets are too big. It s definitely possible that they are too big.
But eventually he got used to it except he still has trouble eating the bigger ones which he eventually ignores after several failed attempts. The most common reason your betta is spitting out food is simply that it s too big. Are my betta food pellets too big.
So i use my fingernail to cut it in half. My betta also barely eats them are the pellets too big. If i forget or a piece is still too big he does the same thing yours does.
It was painful to watch my betta do this atleast 5 times to eat a pellet. Is it bad food. Certain pellets are larger than the size of the betta s eye so they might spit out the food that is simply too large to digest.
Some betta fish pellets expand significantly after they are exposed to water. I have new life spectrum beta pellets that are 1 mm thick and my new betta is pretty small he can never get these in his mouth. I m worried that he might choke.
The best pellets for betta fish will have fewer fillers and more high quality ingredients that help fish thrive. I would suggest only feeding him 2 3 of those per feeding once or twice per day i usually feed once day and have had my happy betta for 2 years now. Pellets are the most common betta fish food on the market with quality varying greatly across each.
