About Amber Worman
Expertise
I specialize in Gouramis, Black Moors, Fantail goldfish, and Bettas. I can answer questions about fish behavior, tank mates, diseases, and living conditions. I do not have much experience with breeding these types of fish, however.

Experience
Fish are my passion - I have raised these types of fish for as long as I can remember. I am a college student at Purdue University where I have a major in Biology and a position as a lab technician in a fish laboratory.

Subject: What can i feed my betta?

Question
i was wondering if there was something other than fish food i could feed my betta. like fruit and veggies or bread or what?

Answer
Hello Jenn-

In the wild, bettas are carnivores, meaning they eat only meat (usually insects or small fish.) You can feed your betta live insects like mosquito larvae, daphnia, live (not freeze-dried) bloodworms, blackworms, or anything else that will fit in his mouth. Also, a skinned green pea once every other week will help your betta's digestion.

Hope this helps,
Amber Worman
