Betta pellets vs flakes. All in all pellets really are not all that different from fish flakes. The majority of betta fish prefer a pellet diet. The previous owners of my betta fed him flakes.

So it should be best if a combination of both pellets and flakes are used betta s will also prefer carnivorous diet. I also feed them frozen blood worms once a week as a treat both are formulated for them so both are good for them but flakes may muck up water quality. I have read a few posts about what best to feed bettas and its a mixed response from people having success with both just wondering what everybody s thoughts are on this.
