Feeding

I would like to know how many pebbles to feed my betta fish each day. It is a male and about five months old.

Thank you.

As many as he will eat in a minute or so. I have had ones that only ate 2-3 a day and ones that ate 5-6 a day. If he is looking chubby and lethargic, then you are over feeding. If he is thin and jumpy all the time, try feeding him more. Hope this helps :)

i would feed it 2 times a day with about 5 to 7 pellets and if it eats more add one each time unless you since that it is eating ridiculously, you can feed 3 times a day.

My male eats 5 pellets once a day, and my female (for whatever reason) will eat no more than two at a time, so she eats twice a day

I think the size of the pellet is important here. I think we are all assuming that all pellets are the same size and this is not the case. How big are the pellets?
