can bettas only eat their specially formulated food or can you feed them anything else like from home???

Look at a hamster site that my friends and I came up with... remeber to sign the guestbook and have fun surfing it...

Bettas are pretty much carnivores, unlike goldfish who like a lot of veggies in their diets, but you could give them a tiny bit of raw fish or frozen bloodworms or brine shrimp.

there are many diffrent types of food for
carnivorest fish.Blood worms B.b.s (Baby brine shrimp)
And many other types of food.

My bettas are always stealing the bloodworms and tubiflex worms right off of the frogs when I feed them. I had one betta literally take a bloodworm that was sticking out of the poor frogs mouth and gobble it right up!

Devs,would you know how mutch they cost?
the blood worms?

My lfs sells them frozen about 12 cubes in all between 3.49-4.00---Freeze dried runs any where from 3.99 and up depending on brand and size of can. I've tried a few different brands,and they eat them all,but Hakari's looks the best( course they cost higher) I think I got them on sale-nice sized can aroun 5 or 6 bucks? I've gotten to the point where I tend to always spend so much more than I planned that I kind of try to not notice!!
