Do they need to be kept warm? Can i use warm water for him, I do not have a thermometer?** A: You can use a people thermometer in the new water if u don't have a fish thermometer needs between 74 to 80 degrees **Q: If you feed 5 - 10 pellets twice a day, about how long would this package last? I'm guessing 2 - 3 months?** A: I have fed my betta 1 pellet in the morning and two in the evening and she has been healthy for the last two years. 5-10 is definitely too much and will probably cloud the water if it doesn't eat them. If u do choose to go that route then I would agree with kcharn, prob a month for 10 and two months for 5. But over feeding is bad for your betta! **Q: Does the pellet float? Don't bettas like to eat food that floats on water?** A: Yes the pellets float, bettas like to eat from the waters surface **Q: Can i feed it sometime to Jack Dempsey** A: The package says for fish greater than 3 inches long. We've fed it to oscars and african cichlids ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ good fish food *by E***A on June 3, 2025* My chilids love it but its a little expensive ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for Goldfish *by B***I on February 2, 2024* This is great for other herbivores like goldfish.
