Diet plan for betta, ADFs and mystery snail

  • #1
How does this diet plan sound? I'm trying to give a variety and for the most part feeding the same things on the same day for different animals so no one (probably the betta) doesn't get jealous haha. I'm going to tong feed bloodworms to the ADFs and possibly feed the freeze-dried brine shrimp and pellets with a turkey baster. The algae wafer for the snail I'll toss in when the betta is asleep so he doesn't try to steal the wafer. Things are easiest for the betta since his food will be left floating.

Betta diet: 3 pellets (Betta Bio-Gold) three times a week, a small pinch of crushed flakes (Tetra BettaMin) once a week, 2 freeze-dried bloodworms once a week, and 3 freeze-dried brine shrimp twice a week.

African Dwarf Frog diet: 8 pellets (4 pellets per frog)(JurassiDiet Newt and Frog) three times a week, 2 freeze-dried bloodworms twice a week, and 3 freeze-dried brine shrimp twice a week.

Mystery snail diet: 2 shrimp pellets (Wardley Shrimp Pellet Fish Food) 3 times a week, 1 algae wafer twice a week, 1 apple slice once a week, and 1 potato peel once a week. Cuttlebone floating in tank.


Schedule:
Monday: Pellets for betta, ADFs and snail
Tuesday: Freeze-dried bloodworms for betta and ADFs, algae wafer for snail
Wednesday: Pellets for betta, ADFs and snail
Thursday: Freeze-dried brine shrimp for betta and ADFs, potato peel for snail
Friday: Pellets for betta, ADFs and snail
Saturday: Flakes for betta, bloodworms for ADFs, algae wafer for snail
Sunday: Freeze-dried brine shrimp for betta and ADFs, apple slice for snail

Hi!
Personally, I would avoid freeze dried and switch to frozen.

Hi Lucy I would like to try frozen, and eventually make the switch. At the time when I was researching, frozen hadn’t seemed easily accessible so I stocked up on freeze-dried.

Your betta and frogs will thank you for the switch. In the mean time soak the freeze dried food in tank water to rehydrate them.
Keep an eye out for any constipation/bloating issues.

How long should I soak them for? Hopefully the smaller (?) amounts I’ve decided on have some buffer to them just in case they inflate a little.

That's right. It shouldn't take long. Just a few minutes if recall correctly

If you drop dry food into a large straw it will sink to the bottom the second it has soaked enough.

Great I’ll soak the bloodworms and shrimp.

I prefer this method over the turkey baster. I thought about dropping food in the corner for the ADFs. If there’s no corys in the tank, I won’t have to worry too much about the frogs not getting to it in time. And the straw serves a second purpose with the soaking on the way down. Thanks
