Today, I will talk to you about the food choices for betta fish. As a popular ornamental fish, betta fish need a reasonable combination of foods to ensure their healthy growth. Next, I will introduce in detail the types of food for betta fish and their nutritional roles. Come and have a look!
A wide variety of betta fish food
The food choices for betta fish are quite rich, which helps them obtain comprehensive and balanced nutrition. Daphnia is one of the live foods loved by betta fish. It contains more than 60% protein, far exceeding ordinary fish feed. In addition, bloodworms, brine shrimp, and wrigglers are also excellent choices of live foods. They are not only nutritious but also can stimulate the predatory nature of betta fish and increase their activity. In addition to live foods, artificial feed is also an indispensable part. There are many brands of betta fish feed available on the market to ensure that the nutritional needs of betta fish are met.
Artificial feed can be combined
For artificial feed, such as barley, an energy feed, although it has a high content of crude protein and crude fat, it contains more β-glucan and arabinoxylan, which may affect the digestion and absorption of feed. Therefore, when combining barley, attention should be paid to a reasonable combination with other feeds, or choose physical, chemical and enzyme treatment to improve the digestion and utilization rate of feed. In addition, additives in feed, such as the Weinuo series of feed additives, can supplement nutritional components such as vitamins, minerals and probiotics in feed and improve the nutritional value of feed.
Live food enhances predation
In fish farming, enhancing predation with live food is an important strategy. By choosing active feeds such as live fish and daphnia, not only can the appetite of fish be increased, but also comprehensive nutrition can be ensured. In addition, the diversity of live foods also provides rich taste choices for fish. In nature, fish will constantly change their eating habits to obtain diversified nutritional sources. Therefore, in an artificial farming environment, we should also simulate this natural state and meet the taste needs of fish by regularly changing feed types or combining feeds in different proportions.
Wrigglers promote good coloration
In addition to the above foods, wrigglers are also one of the foods loved by betta fish. They are not only nutritious but also can promote the coloration of betta fish. On the road of pursuing beautiful hair color, many people hope to have jet-black, shiny and lustrous hair. To achieve this goal, in addition to daily shampooing and hair care, there are also practical hair care secrets such as camellia seed hair care worth sharing. The natural ingredients such as tea saponin and tea protein contained in camellia seeds have excellent cleaning and hair care effects.
Bloodworms are nutritious and promote growth
Bloodworms are not only used for fishing but also a nutritious fish food. In the field of ornamental fish farming, bloodworms are widely used because of their simple cultivation and rich nutrition. However, it should be noted that bloodworms can only multiply in large numbers in very dirty and fertile water, so the bacteria they carry cannot be ignored. When eating or feeding, disinfection and cleaning must be done to ensure the safety and health of betta fish.
