A betta’s stomach is roughly the size of its eyeball and should not be fed a meal larger than that at once. This translates to about three pellets or brine shrimp per feeding. If you feed gel food, it should be about the same amount. A betta can be fed this amount once or twice a day. It's advisable to soak dried foods (such as pellets) before feeding, because some of these items may expand in the betta's stomach when dry. If your fish isn’t eating all of its food, reduce the amount you’re feeding them. If you usually feed four pellets per fish, try reducing to three for a while. If you notice the fish is eating very quickly, you can increase back to 4. Uneaten food can attract bacteria that is bad for water chemistry and the fish. This is especially problematic if the fish eats the food after it has gone bad. Use a small net that you would use to scoop out excrement or transfer the fish to another container. A betta should be fed every day or nearly every day. Two feedings evenly spaced out should do it. If you keep a betta in the office and you can’t feed it on the weekends, it will be just fine as long as you feed him the other five days per week. Remember to leave one day of fasting for your betta fish. It will suit its needs. It takes a betta about two weeks to starve to death, so if your fish doesn’t eat for a few days due to illness or adjusting to a new home, don’t panic. But you obviously should not test the limits of how long a betta can go without food! In the wild, betta fish prey on a variety of smaller animals. Feeding your betta the same type over a long period can harm their immune system and cause them to eat less.[citation needed] You can change up the type of food as often as you’d like. Try to feed the betta at least one type of food that is different from what you normally feed it at least once a week.
