Betta Eating Hikari Shrimp Pellets

[JonnyLightning]

I feed my betta a diet of blood worms (freeze dried and fresh) and also betta pellets. I have him in a 5g shrimp tank, with about 30 Blue Dream shrimp. The shrimp and java moss are multiplying like crazy. I feed sinking wafers to the shrimp and it's great, but when I put in the Hikari Shrimp pellets the shrimp go crazy for it, but the Betta eats them too.

That's okay ya?

Looking at the ingredients list, it shouldn't cause too much issue. Might get bloated if he eats his food and that, though! Maybe feed them the pellets awhile after lights out so maybe the betta doesnt eat as much.

That he does lol he and the shrimp can smell it as soon as it hits the water. When they sink, lights on or off he goes for it so I only do I seldomly. But he does get a little gut when he picks at them!

Heyy, thank you! It was a pain to start! LOL soaking the log.. then I got dark green sewing thread and wrapped the java up all around it. It's getting LONG. I need to trim it down a bit and make it bushier instead of so long. I had not trimmed the dwarf water lettuce in a while and it was shading it, so they all reached for light. The Pearl weed didn't do as well as I thought in the front. Oh well!

Thanks for the compliment
