I have a betta in a small tank with two cory cats (the corys refuse to die

).

I feed them every other day, a pinch of tropical flakes and maybe 6-8 betta food pellets.

If the betta had his way I'd feed him every time I passed the tank, which is often. He also likes to fight with the red betta on the front of the food container.

How often do you feed your betta?
 
We feed them every day/ other day. The kids sometimes forget a day. I just look to see if there are any pellets on the floor. He doesn't like flakes.
 
I had mine on my desk at work - fed him every morning - he liked the flakes - and would jump out of the water to get a blood worm - LOVED those treats!
 
I only feed three little pellet balls every day or every other day. I almost never have to clean the tank because I feed him so little and he eats it all right away. If he starts to look bloated, I cut back and feed him less often. Usually when I'm at school, I'll feed him every day except on weekends. So far he's been alive about three years!
 
I like to feed twice a day, 1-2 pellets per meal. That's with Hikari pellets. I don't know how the size is with other pellets.

When younger mine are more active and eat more. A five year old is usually less active and eats less. If they attack their food, they get a second pellet. If they eat more casually, they get one. I also go by how their body weight looks, looking from above. Underweight fish get more food, chunky fish get less.
