dragonboy69 Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 Hi I'm wondering if Bettas can eat Spirulina and Brine Shrimp flakes and if so what are the benefit from eating them. I currently feed them the following. Atison's Betta Pro, Bloodworms, as well as Frozen Black Worms. I'm wondering if they can eat the following flakes.

Trilobite Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 Yeah I used to feed mine brine shrimp flakes and spriulina.The bettas dont really like spirulina when its by itself so you have to hide in in other forms like beef heart mix, steamed egg, liver mix etc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trilobite Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 For beefheart mix I used this recipe and the liver mix The fish love it. The liver mix smells pretty bad though so be warned! For steamed eggs I just basically did this http://greatbettafishcare.blogspot.com.au/2009/09/food-for-betta-fish-5steam-egg.html and add in spirulina while youre mixing it all up. Then push it through a net and into a drinkbottle full of water to make it into small, edible chunks for the betta. Then just squirt that into the fish tank. It lasts about 2 days in the fridge before it goes off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering could you add peas into the beef and liver mix to help say stop bloat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bettarazzi Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 Bloat can be caused by all sorts of things so adding peas won't necessarily prevent it. We use peas to trigger a purge. Not sure you want that happening every meal. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonboy69 Posted July 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 Ok it's good for Bristlenose so I was wondering if it's ok in Bettas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bettarazzi Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 Bristlenose need much more green matter in their diet. Bettas need more protein. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94vtirozguy Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 I mix spirulina with all my fish food. It doesn't matter what breed it all gets eaten. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
