For a 1.5-inch Betta (from tip of nose to base of tail – before fin), feed 3 pellets of Betta Bio-Gold up to 3 times daily. Add 1 pellet per 1/4-inch of growth, never feeding more than 5 pellets at one feeding. You can do more feedings but make sure they are at least 3 hours apart and at least that amount of time before all lights are out in the room. During feedings, feed 1 one pellet at a time and make sure the Betta completely consumes each pellet. Do not over-feed, overfeeding can be detrimental to the Betta and the water quality. Remove any uneaten food after the feeding period.

This is the best food, my fish loves it so much.
A friend came to visit and brought his betta, then FORGOT to take it home with him. The poor thing was just in a tall bottle with zero features for his comfort and no room to swim. I got him a 3.5 gallon tank kit and live plants and pellets that were just too large for him. He could rarely get one in his mouth. Then I discovered Hikari and presto-change-o the fish LOVES them and eats 5 or 6 of them within a few seconds. He is more energetic and colorful and happy now
All the bettas that I have given this to absolutely love it.
The kibbles are small, easy for young or smaller Bettas to eat. They float for a bit, so the fish have time to eat them before sinking. Compared to other brands we have tried, these are the favored kibble with all my Betta fish, young, old big and small.
I have fed my bettas the Hikari food for years, as they seem to thrive on it and really like it. The pellets are the size they prefer, too. But I had wanted to order the smaller size packs, not the pouch. With the smaller size, it is easy to feed the number of pellets per day the fish need. But with this pouch, I seem to get a giant handful each time, and waste a lot. Please bring back the smaller size or some other container for this Hikari food!
I've used this food for several bettas, and all of them seem to enjoy it and do well with it. It's especially great if you have a small betta, because the pellets are small so there is no need to have to crush them up and make a mess. The packaging of the small size also makes it hard to accidentally spill much, and I haven't had any problems with it going stale.
Used to work at a pet store and fed a lot of bettas. This is the food any of the bettas would eat, and my betta has been eating this food his whole life and I think he’s 5 years old. Great food
I’ve owned several Betta fish over the years. They make great, low maintenance pets. This is the best food out there. The pellet is small and palatable for your Betta. A lot of the other brands have a larger pellet. The fish have a hard time eating and ends up making a messy tank. And let’s not forget about Chewy being the best! Their customer service is amazing. Keep up the good work, Chewy.
I had my betta on some pretty basic pellets, they didn't do much for him. Switched him to this and all of a sudden he was energized and getting more color in him. Definitely good, oddly my fish also has an allergy to certain foods (he looks like he gets hives, weird to explain and yes he's fine, he's spoiled.) This didn't give him any reactions so that's an added bonus!
I love the size of these pellets.My beautiful betta enjoys eating these tiny pellets . I highly recommend Hikari Bio-Gold betta fish food.
