When to feed a betta fish It's a good practice to feed a betta one whole portion once a day, or two half portions twice a day. We recommend the twice-a-day feed as it'll keep your betta that little bit more happy and stimulated.

Feed your cichlid as much food as it will consume in 3 minutes, twice a day. Some species of African cichlids also like vegetable matter and can be given algae wafers, spirulina pellets or plants, like Anacharis, to nibble on.

Betta fish typically need 8 to 12 hours of light, and 12 to 16 of darkness, so make turning off your tank light a pre-bedtime habit. If your Betta fish has too much light, it can become overly stimulated and stressed. ... Too much darkness isn't good for your betta either.

With this fact in mind, most fishes will thrive when fed small portions two to three times a day and will soon learn to come and beg from their owner. Healthy fish should always be hungry and all food should be consumed within a few minutes of being added to the tank.

You should feed your platies no more than once or twice a day with an amount they can finish in a couple of minutes. Overfeeding can be an issue with platies, especially because they have such a good appetite and they always seem willing to get just one more bite of food.

Most fish require 16 to 24 hours to fully digest the food they eat, so a once-a-day feeding is quite sufficient. However, some owners prefer to feed their fish very lightly twice a day. Whether you feed one or two times per day, the key is to keep the feedings very small.

Feed your fish around 2-3 pellets twice a day and it will get enough protein to stay healthy. Live Food – Live food for Betta includes insect larvae, mosquito larva, daphnia, brine shrimp and bloodworms.

Goldfish can occasionally eat the betta food as a way to get protein, but you should let goldfish eat less and feed them once a week as a special treat.

General Rules of thumb for how often to change a fish tank If you keep your Betta in an unfiltered bowl then you should change 30-50% of the water every week – the smaller the bowl the more water you should change. If your Betta lives in a filtered tank then you only need to change out about 20% of the water each week.

You will often see them munching away, and many keepers struggle with knowing how much to feed them. You should aim to feed them 2-3 times a day and only give them what they can consume in less than 2 minutes.

There are a lot of different opinions about this question. I believe that that juvenile turtles (up to one year of age) should be fed once a day, young adult turtles should be fed every other day, and older turtles should be fed every third day if there are edible plants in the tank for them to snak on in between.

In the wild, bettas sometimes eat small insects that land on the water, so naturally, pellets are more effective. Anything between 4 to 6 pellets a day is a good amount to feed a betta. This measurement can vary as manufactures produce differently-sized pellets, so take this measurement as a rule of thumb.

Feed baby snakes about once every five to seven days (once a week is fine). This is an adequate feeding schedule until the snake is a year old. Snakes grow fastest during the first year of their lives. Adult snakes can be fed less frequently, about once every ten days, or once every other week.

Ember tetras and a betta should work, but I would recommend having a backup plan to move the betta into his own (heated and filtered) tank if he ends up getting nipped at too much. As for any tetra, you should aim for a bare minimum of 6 tetras, but 8+ will make the fish feel more comfortable.

Fish should be fed no more than three times per day. In cooler water (65-70) they should only be fed once per day, if that.

You should only feed your betta one or two bloodworms per meal. And only one or two bloodworm meals per week. Too many bloodworms can result in constipation, swim bladder disease, ammonia spikes, disease and wasting your money.

Bettas are not so different than your average community fish that they require special food. Likewise, tetras will be fine eating "betta food". Skip the flakes and just feed pellets.
