I am down to only 5 baby bettas in my tank that are going on 5 months old right now. All of my bettas have been dying out because of over eating the live brine shrimp .. Is this normal and if it is what other alternatives do I have ? I have noticed that this has been happening .. Is their any solution ??

I'm sorry if this sounds sort of silly but if the problem is overeating, have you tried just feeding them less?

I have tried and I lost like 20 fry within a week because of it .. I don't understand what to do right now .

Yes I did try feeding them less but within a week I had like 10 dead bettas in my tank .. I don't know what to do right now ...
