How much food for Marine Betta?

[Dmitry]

So, I guess I've gotten quite lucky with my Marine Betta. Not only does she not hide anymore (is always out when actinics are on; she does hide when MHs are blasting), but she eats like a pig. I give her a piece of silver-sides every 4-5 days (she starts grabbing it from the tweezers as I lower them into the tank), but she also grabs and eats the stuff I feed the other fish - mysis, freeze-dried brine shrimp soaked in vitamins, and formula one. And she's still always out, opening her mouth, asking for food. How much is too much?! :scratchch

they will eat when happy in the tank, and be gald that it is secure enough to come out and be seen. they really are one of the greatest fish in the entire hobby.

I guess I did get lucky! Mine's also kinda ballsy. Today she was trying to steal Marine Cuisine soaked in formula one from the Yellow Tang. It was a losing battle.

LOL.


They both have fins, live in water, need oxygen, eat, sleep and ****. Other than that they are much different.

No. They are the same as a pigeon is to a hawk. :sgrin:
